"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."

I didn't read the paper but going off your comment and the parent - escitalopram was in both lists, whereas vortioxetine wasn't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escitalopram
