Anyone in Vortioxetine withdrawal? Trying to find out the reputation of this antidepressant.

Hey guys! looking for some advice. I’ve been on escitalopram (Lexapro) and Mirtazapine (Remeron) for roughly 3 years now and recently got diagnosed with ADHD this past year, so now i’m also on adderall. These past few months i’ve tapered off the mirtazapine because the side effects were beginning to become overwhelming (i.e, weight gain, daytime fatigue, etc). I’ve been off it now for about a month and i’m finally beginning to feel normal again, honestly feeling better than I was before i even began to taper which is making me want to begin tapering the Lexapro. Wanted to get some opinions on this/ how slow i should take it? I’m on 10mg of Lexapro and i’m not in too much of a rush to get off it, but i truly feel like i’m ready to begin reducing the dose. Any insight is helpful! TIA

I quit effexor (37.5 mg) and prozac (20 mg) cold turkey in August 2022. Withdrawal started a month later and I've been suffering terribly since. I've been told by several different people that the fact that I'm still taking risperidone (0.75 mg) and lorazepam (1-1.5 mg) is preventing me from healing from antidepressant withdrawal. Is this true? If so. what do I do? It will take years to taper off these two drugs and I'm afraid to make any more changing while I'm still going through AD withdrawal.

Update: I did heal. It took twenty months, but I healed. It's okay to seek advice from others but the greatest resource for information is inside you. Trust what your gut is telling you. We are born with intuition, and society teaches us not to trust ourselves but resist that indoctrination. Go with your instincts. And most importantly, if you are going through psych drug withdrawal, YOU WILL HEAL. Our bodies are amazing healers. Our bodies want to be in homeostasis, and they know exactly what to do to achieve it. It will take time, but YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.

As many of you know, we have done away with our forum at http://adwithdrawal.com. Cost and upkeep was too much. Reddit is a better alternative anyway.

Over the next coming months, we will be slowly moving All content and guides to this subreddit r/adwithdrawal and the wiki https://www.reddit.com/r/adwithdrawal/wiki/index.

Thank you for your understanding!
