What kind of antidepressant is Trintellix?

Trintellix (vortioxetine) is an antidepressant in the class of serotonin modulators and stimulators. It primarily works by affecting serotonin signaling, including blocking the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor and modulating several other serotonin receptors. [1]

Is Trintellix an SSRI or a different class?

Trintellix is not an SSRI. Even though it influences serotonin in several ways, it’s classified separately as a serotonin modulator/stimulator (because of its specific receptor activity, including 5-HT3 antagonism). [1]

How does its mechanism relate to its effects?

Because it targets multiple serotonin receptors—not only by increasing serotonin levels broadly—it has a distinct pharmacologic profile compared with typical SSRIs. That difference reflects why it’s categorized as a serotonin modulator/stimulator rather than an SSRI. [1]
