  • Is vortioxetine used for bipolar?

    Trintellix is prescribed as a first-line therapy to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). For patients with bipolar disorder, doctors can prescribe vortioxetine to address the depressive phase. Doctors will usually prescribe that it must be taken together with a mood stabilizer. Trintellix may cause mood changes in people with bipolar disorder, so a doctor may monitor more often for mood changes while taking Trintellix.
  • Is vortioxetine a mood stabilizer?

    Vortioxetine is what is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin receptor modulator. It addresses major depressive disorder (MDD) and does not work the same way as lithium in treating bipolar disorder.
  • Can vortioxetine cause mania?

    Very few cases were reported where bouts of mania were directly attributable to Trintellix. However, it does not address mania or hypomania in bipolar disorder, so doctors usually prescribe medication along with Trintellix to control those phases of bipolar.
  • Does vortioxetine affect concentration?

    Studies on patients with Alzheimer’s disease showed that Trintellix produced improved cognitive function. Some other studies on adult patients with acute MDD showed that Trintellix had boosted their processing speed. It is believed that improving the balance of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, that affect mood and emotions, also improves concentration.
  • Can you mix Trintellix with alcohol?

    When on a course of vortioxetine, it is essential to restrict alcohol intake. They both affect cerebral functions and can cause impairment when consumed together. Most doctors recommend avoiding alcohol altogether when taking Trintellix because it may also increase the risk of side effects.
