"started taking vortioxetine for treatment resistant mdd.  i took this medication for only 8 days.  the first 3-4 days i had moderate nausea, gas, loose stools and very bad itching that worsened daily.  on day 8 my dr advised me that i was likely having an allergic reaction and had me discontinue the medication.  my depression seemed to be starting to lift just a little about day 5."
