Withdrawal symptoms of stopping solian

Hello Doctors, Kindly help me understand how to deal with the withdrawal symptom of sleeplessness when stopping solian. I have been diagnosed with Psychosis 8 years back and been taking solian since then. Taking solian 50 mg since last few years. I thought of stopping it and took it on alternate days for 1 month in Apr. This month took it once in 3 or 4 days for 15 days. But suddenly am finding it difficult to sleep since last few days. Continuously for more than 4 days, didn't get proper sleep. Should I follow a different approach for stopping solian? How to get back my normal sleep daily?

Can Vipca 10 cause palpitations?

I was prescribed Vipca 10 by a Neurologist to help resolve disturbed sleep issues due to a traumatic experience which happened three years ago. Within a week of taking the medicines, I started getting palpitations. Resting heart rate went to about 88 bpm. Does Vipca 10 (Vortioxetine) cause these side effects. Can a psychiatrist please shed some light?
