Hello, i have been taking vortioxetine 10 mg for anxiety & mood related disorder. This drug cost a lot and i cannot afford purchasing higher strength 20 mg strip so my question is if i continue taking 10mg strength tab, will it not work in fixing my symptoms overtime after continuous taking it?? Or the dose increase is must? Thanks

Thank you for your question. I can help you with this. I would require you to do some changes in your medications as vortioxitine is not a good option for anxiety.
