Hi Scott,
I must admit I'm a bit surprised. I did think you would feel quite averse to taking vortioxetine again. Does your doctor have a theory about how a lower dose may help now? You will stay on 5mg/day perhaps?
I have my own mini theory if vortioxetine doesn't work out this time. I was thinking you could stay off all additional serotonergic drugs (like vortioxetine) for around three weeks before trying Effexor again - a full 'wash out' if you like. I was thinking the unusual response to Effexor may have been related to the residual effects of medications taken during the few weeks before you started Effexor. Next time, you could start Effexor at 37.5mg/day perhaps. Just a thought.
