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."
