Hello,
There are various effects possible when missed doses of Brintellix (Anti-depressant Vortioxetine) are encountered like:
- Raised anxiety (major concern for muscle twitching)
- Irritability
- Nausea
- Appetite changes
- Dry mouth
Immediately start her doses on regular basis and do follow up after 48 hours about the progress of the same.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
