No.: Brintellix is a new antidepressant which prevents the reupatake of Serotonin like the SSRIs however its exact mechanism of work is still unknown. It works on some receptors but the benefits is still unknown. Buspar is an ti -anxiety medication. Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) is another newer SSRI. Buspar is often used to augment or boost an anti-depressant.
