Hi All,
I have been taking Vortioxetine for around 2 years and during my recent admission to the psychiatric ward added in Lamotrigine, I had a fairly severe allergic reaction to that and so had to stop using it. I'm now tapering off Vortioxetine with a view to starting Venlafaxine in a few weeks - so why do I feel better? Has anyone experienced this? The last few days I feel like my mood has really lifted and I almost don't want to start a new drug.
Am I being naive to think that I will be better without any meds?
Thanks in advance for any advice
