Viibryd Is Ruining My Life (Page 2)

Hey All. I started the starter pack of Viibryd two weeks ago while weaning off of Pristiq. I am on SSRI'S due to obsessive/intrusive thoughts and GAD. The first few days of the 10 mg of Viibryd were okay. I just had some mild diarrhea but no nausea or anything else. By week two, I experienced severe diarrhea, nausea, drowsiness, extreme fatigue, vertigo, and angry irritable behavior. I called my Psychaitrist on Friday and told him that I want off of this stuff! He told me to stop taking it and to call him Monday morning.... two days later I still can barely function at all. This is the worst SSRI that I have ever been on. Now, I am just wondering where to go from here? I seriously didn't even drive my car over the weekend because I felt like I was overmedicated. Anyone else experiencing these difficulties with Viibryd? I would NOT reccomend this drug to anyone.

I was already taking Wellbutrin and lamotrigine for 3 months when I started to taper. The first three weeks I was nauseated, fever, and the worst itching ever with severe headaches. But it's been about 5 weeks and now I only notice an occasional headache and agitation but not very often.

Wrong. It is an SSRI. Please don't post incorrect information. It could easily be Googled before you took the time to post this wrong data.
