Today is Day 38. I am about to write a comprehensive review of Brintellix, but no PDOC in their right mind can should say that it's "not much different from Lexapro". Sure, it sure shares some serotonin reuptake inhibition, but it's very different as far as ADs go.

Also, it depends on how many ADs you have been on. I could not recommend that such a novel, brand-new antidepressant like Brintellix be chosen as a first-line treatment for a beginning patient over a proven antidepressant like Lexapro. Especially when the data on it is so limited. If you have already tried a SSRI, different story.

In case you're wondering, I have done well on Brintellix.
