Brintellix better as monotherapy?

Posted by SLS on August 4, 2015, at 22:30:53

1. It has been suggested that general practitioners (PCPs) are having better luck with Brintellix (vortioxetine) than psychiatrists are. There seems to be a therapeutic window for Brintellix that is disturbed by adding other serotonergic drugs, a practice that is seen more frequently in the polypharmacy strategies used by psychiatric specialists.

2. Another observation offered is that, when used as monotherapy, the dosage of Brintellix can be reduced after remission has been achieved and maintained. A lower maintenance dosage will allow for a reduction in side effects.

These observations are tentative.
