Brintellix® (vortioxetine)
When can I stop taking Brintellix?
After starting your medicine, you will not feel better immediately, as all medicines for depression take some time to work. Some patients may start to notice improvements after about 2 weeks, but in other patients this may take longer.
If you are not feeling better (or have begun to feel worse) after 4-6 weeks of treatment, or if side effects are unmanageable, go back to your doctor to get advice about changing your dose or about finding a more suitable alternative treatment.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
