"For acceptability, agomelatine, citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, and vortioxetine were more tolerable than other antidepressants (range of ORs 0·43–0·77), whereas amitriptyline, clomipramine, duloxetine, fluvoxamine, reboxetine, trazodone, and venlafaxine had the highest dropout rates."

It appears that agomelatine[1] and vortioxetine[2] are effective and well-tolerated. Good to know.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agomelatine : "...avoids the weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and severe withdrawal associated with the most commonly used classes of antidepressants..."

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortioxetine : "...Incidence of sexual dysfunction is higher in patients taking vortioxetine than in people taking placebos but appears to be lower than in people taking most other antidepressants..."
