I’ve been on 10mg vortioxetine for 18 days now for depression and GAD. My sleep, focus and peaks of anxiety have improved after a few days.
However my depression seem to have become a lot worse and now pretty much constant.
Is this a short term side effect or is the drug just not working for me?
Thank you

Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
