More info: Hi Maria, This is a hard question to answer with one message. The safety profile of a drug is determined by more than just the properties of the drug itself. Other factors include other underlying medical conditions a patient may have, other prescribed meds, how the meds are administered, etc. More in-depth information about trintellix: http://bit.ly/2ndvHul and http://bit.ly/2oFOSwv
