Suggest Treatment For Depression Despite Taking Trintellix

I am taking Viibird now. Told my doctor I didn t think it was working anymore. He scribed Trintellix. I took it for 2 weeks with no results. Went back to Viibird , depression is getting worse. I am a heart patient taking Sotalol. My question is, do you recommend giving the Trintellix another shot? Sorry to bother you. I don t have the dollars at this time.
