Early Side Effects With Viibryd (Page 2) (Top voted first)

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?

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.

I've been on Viibryd for about six weeks. Initially I did have side effects - hot flashes & sweats, stomach & bowel issues, headaches. Nothing unbearable, but definitely noticed. They did clear up after just a couple of weeks.

I'm only on 10mg, as that seems to be enough to help my mood (initially we tried Pristiq, which was a bad, bad chemical for me!).

Although my doctor assures me Viibryd is not affecting my blood pressure, I believe I noticed an increase when they had me on a higher dosage. The lower dosage and a new BP med happened at the same time, so the improvement could be either or both. Just something to keep an eye on.

Viibryd, as I have previously noted, is a NASTY drug. I don't believe there is all that much known about it, which makes it even worse. I will tell you thought that it helps me tremendously with hot flashes, but I do experience very small and slight anxiety attacks while trying to go to sleep. I'm no doctor, but my recommendation would be to press your doctor for another drug. I hate this stuff...

Its all in your head. To be fair the drug should be given at least 3 to 6 months to see if it will work for you.
