Depending on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to
a maximum of 20 mg
vortioxetine once daily or decreased to a minimum of 5 mg vortioxetine
once daily.
After the depressive symptoms resolve, treatment for at least 6 months
is recommended for
consolidation of the antidepressive response.

occurrence of discontinuation
symptoms (see section 4.8). However, there is insufficient data to
provide specific recommendations
for a tapering schedule for patients treated with Brintellix
