Has anyone tried Vortioxetine?

[Cats234]

I have chronic depression for the last 20 years or so. I've tried citalopram, sertraline, respiridone, duloxetine, fluoxetine, diazepam, mirtazapine and venlafaxine and nothing works.
Now the Dr suggests vortioxetine. Has anyone tried this/is on this medication?

I’ve taken it alongside a low dose of olanzapine and the combo worked well for me with minimal side effects from the Vortioxetine - got the weight gain from the olanzapine though!

Thanks @Katrinawaves how long do you think it took for Vortioxetine to make you feel better?
I'm absolutely at the end of my tether to be honest after 20 years of shit mental health.

I took it for about 6 months in total and the improvement was reasonably quick - maybe 4 or 5 weeks to be really noticeable. I always find recovering from depression is a bit like that though. You start with days or parts of days when you feel more normal but because you are still depressed at other times you don’t really notice you are improving. But then suddenly one day you realise you’ve had more good days than bad ones and the corner has been turned.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon. x
