Hi,
Trintellix is a newer drug that of course do work for depression. Howe'ver it's not the only drug, sertraline is of the same class and has been found quite effective though it may take some time.
I think you can continue with sertraline as advised by your doctor and wait for the response. It may take sometimes like few weeks but many times quite safe and effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
