Viibryd For Me (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Hello....I am 38 and have been dealing with a divorce that started before I started on Viibryd. I am now on my 25th day of the starter pack. I haven't really noticed too many of the side effects of everyone else. I have noticed a craving for sweets, which I am trying to stop because my Dr. has had me on adipex for weight gain from zoloft. I haven't really gained any weight from what I can tell thus far.
I also haven't had any problems with stomach issues or headaches.
I have noticed my sex drive come back however....
I am just hoping that this pill is going to work for me. I haven't really been able to notice anything different. Do you all think maybe I just need to wait a while longer to notice????

I also experienced severe "brain zaps" on Viibryd. They were so scary to me. Along with that I also became overly aggressive with people I really care about. Two things I could not live with. I realized after 5 different antidepressants that one a day meds are not for me. I am trying no meds for awhile. The withdrawl from Viibryd have been the worst so far. I have been depressed and not myself. I just don't know how long to wait before reconsidering being off meds all together. Does anyone know how long to stick it out to give my body a chance before I try yet again another medicine???

Hi...I do feel like you will benefit from Viibryd, especially after going thru a divorce (or during). I know from experience with emotions & Viibryd that you will feel more in control & I do remember feeling more smiley when first starting Viibryd, but that soon faded. I am already a smiley person though. But I do always feel like I am dragging or fatigued and have gained weight. So it's really important to keep up with an exercise routine. I do wonder though how natural endorphins will work with Viibryd? As I have a tendancy to be hyper & already easily excitable w/o meds, the Wellbutrin calms me (like an ADD med?!) & the Viibryd takes away almost all of my NEGATIVE feelings towards where I live. It makes me CONTENT with where I am, so I can go about my day & not want to complain about this Godforsakin state. :) Sp?
