Is Trintellix better than escitalopram?

Good morning, ma'am,

It is, for the moment, impossible to answer the question "is escitalopram better than Trintellix", because they have not been evaluated face to face... The studies on each were against placebo

That being said, both have the official indication for the treatment of depression. It could be that some people have a better effect with one and other people might feel a better improvement with the other.

Keep in mind that if you start a new treatment, you can expect to see effects after 4 to 6 weeks at the effective dose, so be patient

I hope I have been of some help to you and I am available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
