> Scott, I went from 10 to 20 mg quite quickly (over a week), and stayed on 20mg for a month. But, for me, there was no improvement. The side-effects were disturbing: particularly the hyper-sexuality. But it was not pleasurbale. It was an *agitated* hyper-activity.

That sounds unpleasant.

> I ceased the vortioxetine and resumed parnate.

Vortioxetine has a 66 hour half-life. How long are you waiting before resuming Parnate? Serotonin syndrome is a concern. I hope everything goes well for you.

> How are you going now?

It has been over a week since I discontinued vortioxetine, and I am still experiencing some residual adverse effects. They include brain-fog, cognitive slowing, and anxiety. They are improving gradually, though. I began taking Effexor two days ago. I am titrating up to 300 mg/day. Fingers crossed.
