Brintrillix (vortioxetine) is unlikely to be a cause for your weight gain. Dexamethasone might be more likely to cause weight gain.
But dexamethasone being a steroid should not be stopped abruptly. The dose has to be tapered down slowly and then stopped. Do consult your physician and follow the instructions. Hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
