I’m assuming because it’s the next step n the NICE guidelines 😏

“Vortioxetine is recommended as an option for treating major depressive episodes in adults whose condition has responded inadequately to 2 antidepressants within the current episode”.

She did suggest the option of trying other SSRI’s into our previous discussion, and suggested giving Citalopram another go, but seems very keen on Vortioxetine.

Whatever I choose I will have to wean off the ven first. I was hoping she would say I can cross taper but I’m on two other meds which could make it a bit dodgy.

Anyway, I’m still crossing my fingers that the mirtazapine increase will help and it won’t come to that 🤞
