Skipping A Dose Of Viibyrd! Don't Do It!
Updated
Steven Says:
Don't skip or miss a dose. I ran low and skipped a day and then cut a 40 mg tablet in 1/2. Did this with Prozac from time to time or missed a dose, never any issues. Additionally, I had a bad cold and added cold medicine, another big no no.
I experienced night dreams, night paralysis, feeling of not being able to breath at night upon waking, terribly itch skin all over, coma feeling upon waking, confusion, loss of direction and extreme agitation. I took one 40 mg pill last night, all of the aforementioned symptoms subsided. I had to make several apologies at work today for my agitation just yesterday. My temperament returned to before, which was much improved on Viibyrd over Prozac.
Good med, bad med, I am not sure. But with such improvement just getting my dosage back to where my doctor had me, I am still hopeful of continued good results. I will never miss a dose, nor cut a dose, nor use cold meds on this drug. A glass of wine is out as well. And should I stop, it may take me 6 months to wean off. Coming off rapidly is scarey.

Hello, Steven! How are you doing?
Prozac/Fluoxetine tends to have a very long half-life compared to most other antidepressants, so you can skip a day or two and it won't really cause any problems for most people that take it.
Viibryd has a much shorter one, so you'll experience changes much faster, if you skip doses of it.
As to the cold medicine, it is always best to check for possible interactions or problems, before taking something with any prescription medication.
Is there anything else I can help with?
