Vortioxetine is a multimodal antidepressant. It inhibits serotonin reuptake and modulates several serotonin receptor subtypes, which helps balance neurotransmitter activity, with improvement usually appearing over 2 to 4 weeks. Vortioxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions in children, teenagers and young adults under 24, and that risk is higher in the first few months of treatment or when the dose is increased. Anyone affected should seek medical help promptly.
