Ive Been Taking Viibryd For Over A Year And Still Depressed

I've been on viibryd for over a year and I'm still depressed. I get up, go to work, come home and go back to sleep. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. I was on prestiq for about 4-5 yrs and I was about the same. Does anybody know if there is another anti depressant I can take along with viibryd or something else I can take that will make me feel any better?

Hello,

When it comes to severe depression, I find it is very essential that the underlying causes of your depression be treated for you to feel true relief without the use of medication. I too suffered from severe depression (for a little over 2 years). Only recently have I been able to overcome the struggle of dealing with it on a daily basis and getting by without faking a smile.

Changing my environment, exercising, meditating on positive affirmations, and adding more fresh fruits/veggies to my diet helped me to change my state of being; which directly affected my mood and everyday sense of well-being. I know what works for me may not work for everyone dealing with depression, but ultimately, medications just cover up the feelings temporarily, and doing something about how you feel is in my opinion the best way to get long term relief from depression.

If I was your doctor and had a better idea of your medical history I may be able to suggest a specific medication to you, but since I'm not I can only offer my personal opinion on the matter based on what I've been through. I've used a combination of the supplements 5 http and st johns wort with success before, so I do recommend them if you want to try something different. However, if you end up finding a prescription medication that you'd like to try with your Viibryd, I can help you by researching if they are safe to take together. I hope I've helped you in some way!
