Thanks!

REPORT

I didn't have side effects with 20. In fact my doc just told me this morning to cut down from the 40 back to the 20 and stay on lamictal 25 mgs. I hope you do ok and enjoy nyour vacation. Sometimes a vacation does a lot of good, but not if you're feeling yucky.. If you are worried call your doctor and see if you should stay on 10 until you get back home. Good luck and HAVE FUN!!

Anything that irritates the stomach repeatedly the way that viibryd does CANNOT be good for you . I think that this drug will cause lawsuits in the future .

I stopped taking Viibryd, it made feel to spacy and unable to think clearly. It did numb my feelings down a bit, it felt like I was wearing a full body life condom. It made the really bad feelings not so bad and the really good feelings just ok. I prefer to feel human and mildly depressed instead of a feeling like a disconnected robot.

the drug reps do offer their time. it is the doctors who do not listen to them. all they want to do is sign for the samples that are being dropped off. I've seen it happen.

Problem is, you DO need a doctor to tell you to cut a pill in half. Many meds a coated so that they are time-released and are meant only to be taken whole.

I've been on Viibryd since November. Since then I've been addicted to sugar..Nov..skittles, Dec...red velvet cake and Jan...pbj's..lol I'm done with the sweets. Tonight I noticed that I have a quarter size bald spot in my hair. I'm a cosmetologist student, so I know medication affects your entire body including your hair. The medication does help with anxiety and you have alot of energy, but it's not work the side effects. I will be getting winged off of Viibryd asap. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Fortunately most can get by with one SSRI, but many do need adjunct drugs given so many factors that even goes outside psyche issues. Age, other health issues, and other drugs being taken all can play a part in brain chemistry. A real important factor is the doctor in charge, are they really good at figuring out meds? If so, that is 50% of the battle--good doctors doing the right advice and meds and dosage, etc. Vii has been great for me and I would like to get off but know I am going to be on it for maybe one more year, as now 11 months on it.

My concern is side effects may be needed to be investigated. Side-effects are suppose to resolve over a reasonable time. I stand by my view that seek medical advice for prolonged side effects. Too many people don't and maybe need to think twice about all causes.
Yes there are GI side effects that are reported. That is one of the more common ones. Yet in most cases it is resolved over time. Best.

DO NOT TAKE THIS EVIL DRUG!!I just started taking Viibryd today and I saw the side effects and thought that maybe they were rare and I wouldn't have any,but I was wrong!First came the horrible stomach pains that do not go away and you wont be able to go to the bathroom for at least a hour so you have to suffer till then!And when you finally get to go all a sudden you feel dizzy and start to vomit wile may I add your all ready in the middle of #2 so you need a bucket handy!And then the chest pains and fast heart rate kicks in and you feel like your about to have a heart attack and after a wile you wish you would just to end the suffering!And I can now see why there is a chance that this evil drug from hell could cause you to have suicidal thoughts not cause it is a side effect but it makes you want to die!Lets just say that I would rather give birth to a rhino through my penis then to go through this ever again!

Viibryd warning: Legal action is in the works due to it causing SLEEP PARALYSIS & other serious side effects. Especially a severe form of discontinuation syndrome!!! Forest Labs (now under a new name?) refuses to acknowledge the sleep paralysis, but it is a problem for many. More to come!

Just read that Viibryd is Paxil & Buspar combined. But not sure if this is a medical fact or Dr's personal opinion.

I can't find the info grid that mentioned the 'other' name w/ the LLC noted. The sites that I saw the info on said they were updated 2 days ago.

Forest reps. are definitely keeping tabs on what people have to say about Viibryd! So keep posting your reviews!

I was told by neuro. that Vii was nearly identical to Effexor. Not trying to create confusion, just mentioning. I had taken Buspar for quite awhile. I think it was calming. Made me have a dizzy spell feeling (is common) for a few sec. about 20 min. after taking it. Then I just never knew if it was really working for anxiety or just making me feel odd. For example, while out shopping, I'd have OCD thoughts that I was too caught up in my own focus to socialize normally. Which then made me anxious. Be on the lookout for Buspar giving you a floaty feeling. Interesting Dr. prescribed it w/ Vii. Did you ask him if he knew Buspar was already in Vii?

Also, interesting topic before on not taking Wellbutrin w/ Vii.

I am on Cymbalta & tried to cut back & could've crawled out of my skin tonite. Darn. I knew it has a tough weaning track record like Vii. So I caved & took the 60mg. dose. I am tired of the daytime sleepiness from the Cymbalta.

:D

I went on Viibryd for the first time about 9 months ago and stopped taking it almost immediately because it made me sick to my stomach. Then, I restarted it and tapered up a lot slower and tolerated it much better but I was taking it at night and couldn't figure out why I had horrible insomnia until someone told me to only take it in the morning. I began feeling GREAT with increased energy and was able to sleep at night when I took it in the morning. As of now, I have been taking this for 6 months straight and just in the last month have become painfully aware of my thinning hair. I noticed a lot was going down the drain when I took a shower but that happens sometimes. My ponytail is about 1/2 the circumference it used to be. I am stopping this medication because I love my hair and I'm a girly-girl.
