Viibryd And Migraines

Just started Viibryd day 6 at 10mg, went off cold turkey 40 mgs of Prozac, and 50 mgs of Amitriptilene (spelled wrong)..I have been in hell..I'm lightheaded and feeling very aggitated, I kind of feel like I'm crawling out of my skin..But this is the worst part and my main question..I average 4 to 5 migraines a week and can usually get rid of them within 3 to 5 hours..I now have a migraine morning noon and night, has any one else while taking Viibryd, has your migraines increased...Thanks!!

At this point, it's actually difficult to say whether the migraines may be from the Viibryd, or from stopping the other medications abruptly.

Learn more Viibryd details here.

The only way to really tell would be to give it a few weeks, so the withdrawals from the other medications stop and the Viibryd is fully in your system and see if you are still getting them that frequently then.

Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Verwon, thanks for your input, so far i have seen my Neuro who has put me on stronger meds for my migraines. I see my Dr. for the Viibryd on Weds I am def going to stay on it as its only been 10 days. I have been on this medicine roller coaster for to many years not to give this one a solid chance. Here's hopeing. Thanks for your great advice. Donna:)
