FAQs
What is vortioxetine (Trintellix) used for?
Vortioxetine (Trintellix) is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) or depression. It works by increasing levels of serotonin, a chemical in the brain.
Is vortioxetine (Trintellix) an ssri?
No, vortioxetine is not only a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works in a similar way to increase serotonin levels in the brain. Unlike SSRIs, though, vortioxetine also blocks and binds other serotonin receptors in the brain. If you have questions about how vortioxetine works to treat depression, talk with your provider to learn more.
Does vortioxetine (Trintellix) cause weight gain or loss?
Weight gain or loss wasn't reported in studies of people taking the medication. If you're concerned about weight changes with vortioxetine, talk with your provider. They can discuss your concerns and provide more information.
How long does vortioxetine (Trintellix) take to work?
Vortioxetine starts to work after you begin treatment, but it may take a few weeks to months of taking it regularly before you see an improvement in your symptoms. Don't stop taking the medication if you feel it's not working for you. Instead, talk with your provider about your concerns. They can discuss your symptoms and determine if you need a dosage adjustment or if another medication would be appropriate for you.
Does vortioxetine (Trintellix) help with anxiety?
Though vortioxetine is approved to treat depression, in some cases, it may be prescribed off-label for anxiety. An off-label use is when a medication is prescribed for a condition other than its approved uses. If you're interested in learning more about vortioxetine's use for anxiety, ask your provider for more information.
Is vortioxetine (Trintellix) a controlled substance?
No, vortioxetine is not a controlled substance, as it is not habit-forming and is not known to cause addiction. If you have questions about how vortioxetine works, talk with your pharmacist or provider.
Is vortioxetine (Trintellix) an antipsychotic?
No, vortioxetine is considered an atypical antidepressant type of medication. It is thought to work to treat depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Talk with your provider if you want to learn more about vortioxetine and how it works.
