Vortioxetine for Major Depressive Disorder "I don't love this medication. I have been on Trintellix for about 4 weeks now. I changed to this due to long-term sexual dysfunction. The doctor said this med doesn't have this side effect due to its multimodal effect. I am now thinking of going back to my original meds, Citalopram, which at least helped with the anxiety and OCD. Overall, the reason for me to change this medication is that I have seen no difference sexually-desire or arousal. Might be time to get off completely."

Vortioxetine for Depression "So far so good, minimal sexual side effects and I don't feel zoned out like I have on other antidepressants. Still only on ten mg will go up in a few weeks. This is week 2.5 for me."

Vortioxetine for Major Depressive Disorder "Trintellix 20 mg makes me passive. However, I believe I suffer from some of its side effects, e.g., insomnia, lack of sexual desire, and gastrointestinal inflammation."

"Superior anxiety relief, especially for social anxiety. Works well for depression too. This is different from all the other SSRIs, has lots of potential. No sexual side effects like traditional SSRIs."
