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
