## Resource

We are making our way through the atypical antidepressants and up next are the so called serotonin modulators and stimulators, vilazodone and vortioxetine. To me these are more similar to the SSRIs and like the SSRIs they do a little extra on top of serotonin reuptake inhibition, but for these two medications these effects are touted to be better tolerated than the SSRIs. Is that the case? Find out.
