Vortioxetine is : approved in the U.S. only for treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. Studies on Generalized Anxiety Disorder in adults had conflicting results, one that it was superior to placebo & one that it was not. Studies of Vortioxetine for MDD showed efficacy for MDD at 20 mg./day, but not at lower doses. See: http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/mobileart-rx.asp?drug=brintellix&monotype=rx-ad&monopage=4
