Antidepressant induced mania reversible?

2021-03-03 17:02:33
Hi, I have been taking antidepressant for the past 5years. Then I was prescribed with Vortioxetine(Brintellex) 6months ago. Ever since I took this medication I started feel overexcited, restlessness, headache etc. I found out that Vortioxetine has a side effect of Mania. I have been taking Vortioxetine for 6 months now. Will the side effect of mania go away if I switch to any other anti depressant? Thank you.

You should discuss this with your Psychiatrist. Changing the medicine may be required but don't do it on your own. These symptoms will subside if they are medicine induced.
