Early Side Effects With Viibryd (Page 2)

I started taking Viibryd three days ago, and have started to see negative side effects. I'm currently taking 10 mg. I get extreme hot flashes, and sweat more excessively. I also noticed I have been experiencing migranes, and tingly sensations throughout my body. My doctor said that this is normal for the first few weeks, but I'm starting to wonder if this has happened to anybody else. Should I just ride it through the next couple of weeks, or should I get off of Viibryd now?

I dos experience everything you stated. It does get better but it ended up changing my overall body chemistry after 2 years. Now I have a hypothyroid. It also messes with my glucose and sugar levels. After the first year the colicky bloating and acid reflux got so bad I had to get off of it-and that caused a whole other Avalanche of problems.

Alcohol shouldn't be consumed with any antidepressant because it has been proven to cause suicidal thoughts in a lot of people.

Re: Deb (# 1)

I have been on viibryd since May 2017.
Started with 20 / then to 40.
My depression is better but physically feel hot flashes/ bad in the mornings as well as anxiety and bad taste in the mouth. After about an hour in the mornings / after taking viibryd-the symptoms get lighter. There are days I really feel great and normal but then the symptoms come back a few days later. I am on 30 now but want to go to 20 because maybe these side effects will go away.
Does anyone else have these symptoms and this yo yo effect/ good one day and bad another?

After taking Vibryd for two years I’m now having hot flashes. All my tests to see what may be causing the hot flashes came back negative.
