Do you contribute the zooming effect to the Viibryd? I too have this in the mornings, but It started before the Viibryd. Since you posted have you found the solution? ThanksOSCAH

I could barely walk as well, I stopped Viibryd immediately when it got that bad and slowly I started walking normal again. Doctors are not always right, infact many times they are guessing and your the guinea pig. Stop the Viibryd and you will get better, find other solutions for depression.BBE

Actually I was on meth for years with out any side affects and still have my teeth, when I stopped it was very easy and it was not till my fiancé died that the depression came back, but to do the right thing I went to the dr. And yea the drugs they give are by far worse then the meth

Maybe your one of the lucky ones, but in case you don't know here is a list of the meth. Long term effects on your body. It makes taking Viibryd seem like taking candy.
Brain damage,
Sensation of flesh crawling (formication)
Paranoia, hallucinations, delusions, tension headache
Muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) which can lead to kidney damage or failure
Death due to stroke, cardiac arrest or elevated body temperature (hyperthermia)

That's exactly what anyone would expect a drug addict to post. It's one thing to respond on the subject of your side effects from Viibryd. That's why this forum is here. But to suggest that a highly illegal, made-in-a-barn, utterly addictive drug like meth that ruins the health and relationships of anyone that uses is the better alternative? Again, the words of a drug addict. You will surely find people who share your scape-goat approach to live on BlueLight.ru . Otherwise, you're better off to save the "logic" for the police that arrest you and the judge that passes sentence.

My wife tried Viibryd after the cost of Cymbalta became a concern. She was only on Viibryd for a week an started to experience some mild joint and mucle pain from her left sholder to her finger tips. Later as the symptoms worsened in her left arm to the point of causing sleep issues, pain now started to present in her left leg. It got to the degree of sorness, like severe sorness from extreme exersise. At this point it was only about 2 weeks on Viibryd and we decided that she had to stop. Within 10 days all her pain in her left arm was gone, but the pain in her left leg is still there. Its been so bad that her ability to walk has been compromized, she can barely drive her car because it hurts to use the clutch in her toyota. She now has to to go to the doctor to see what our options are for her leg pain. She has to take a trip away from home next week, and we had to get a rental car with an auto because her symtoms in her left leg make it so sore and stiff. We are also getting her a cane to help her walk, because her right hip is getting sore from trying to compensate for her left leg. My wife has had depression for 15 years and she has tried quite a few different drugs over the years, Viibryd by far has had the worst side effects in such a short period of time.

I am glad love your Viibryd and it was worth the side effects. It was 6 months of hell for me, now i am completely free of it. I still have lingering joint pain, mild brain zaps, stomach issues just to name a few but I feel that the side effects are slowly diminishing. I'm only off Viibryd completely for about a week. Good Luck.

I am 42 year old female. Due to thyroid problems my depression is bad. I've been on ,Lexapro, Zoloft, and now 150 mg of Effexor. A few weeks ago my doctor added Viibryd to try as a "gooser" to the Effexor. I just started the 20 mg last week. Thursday I started with a headache. Then I went to very lightheadedness. Dizzy. Vomited one time. This is Sunday and I am still lightheaded. Could this be a side effect of the Viibryd?

I'm with you! This drug made me want to kill myself and also gave me terrible pains, some which still stay with me, almost a year later. After yelling at my psych for giving me this poison, he dropped me as a patient and I had to figure out a way to wean myself off this horrific drug. It was a nightmare and this drug should be taken off the market altogether!!!!

53 yr old female. Starting my 4th week of the starter pack today. Had been on a combo of Cymbalta 60 mg/Lamictal 300mg daily for years for diagnosed Type II Bipolar. Told doc i wasn't feeling too evenly happy lately, so she suggested weaning off Cymbalta, continue the Lamictal, and wean onto Viibryd (as she said, the new wonder drug). I have never, ever, been so physically and emotionally sick, EVER. I chalked up the beginning symptoms as Cymbalta withdrawal, but I have so many awful things happening that I seriously considered checking into a mental hospital yesterday, even tho I have no insurance coverage for mental health. I have a dr appointment in an hour from now, and my husband is watching me like a hawk (i am damn lucky). Side effects include: all over extreme body pain, especially in my right shin, both knees, right arm and hand. I didnt sleep for 2 weeks because of nightmares (no halucinations). Crying is beyond uncontrollable, especially in the ams after I take my pill. If someone says something nice to me, i have cried for 2 - 5 hours straight. Now I am feverish, and while not suicidal, have thought about just "going away". I am considering weaning off all meds, cleaning out my body, dealing with my body's own goofiness, and then make a different plan. I wish each and every one of you luck with your journey, and decisions.

Viibryd was poison to me by the 5th month I felt I was going to die from serotonin poisoning. I quit immediately and yes pain everywhere and very strong brain zaps. I am now on Lexapro and wellbutrin and am doing great with non of those tortures. This is not a wonder drug at all, it can potentially kill you and should not be on the market at all. You will see someone will be greatly hurt by Viibryd.

I am routinely amazed at the amount of hyperbole and opinion that get presented on this site as fact. Can Viibryd kill you? My guess is it could.. and so can Tylenol. People have bad reactions and even die from prescription and OTC drugs all the time. It's unfortunate, but it's also the risk you run when introducing a foreign substance into your body. But it would be myopic of me (or anyone else) to present as fact that a product is "poison" because it has side effects. Just as Viibryd doesn't work for some individuals, I wasted a lot of time taking Lexapro and suffered plenty of negative secondary reactions. That doesn't mean its bad for everyone else.

Hello all - first time poster. Male 45 y.o. Depression and anxiety. Have been on Paxil, Effexor and Wellbutrin in the past - but couldn't deal with the weight gain or sexual side effects. Last Sept. my doctor start me on Prestiq. Typical side effects early on of lack of sleep, low energy, etc. No real gains from it - still felt the same "blah". The sexual side effects didn't kick in until March. That was it time to stop. Dr. has now provide the starter pack for Viibryd. I've stuck with most of the meds my Dr. has prescribed and all side effects, but three days in and ready to punt Viibryd. Terrible joint pain - knees and shoulders, nightmares (I really recall dreaming prior to this) headaches, blurry vision, feeling bloated and weight gain and loss of memory. Surprising how quickly it's taken it's toll on me, but not worth sticking it out. There's got to be better options.

I'm off viibryd about 1 month. All I can say is its was quite a nightmare while on viibryd, the side effects were out of control. For me it was a very poor choice of drugs. I still have t stomach issues and joint pains that I hope will get better with time. Good luck to the rest of you.

I was on Viibryd for about 4 months. I have to say on 40mg I was very "mellow". I reduced my dose to 20 and then 10 due to prolonged climax. I also started to experience lower extremity muscle soreness. 20 and 10 did not work as well as 40, mood wise. I stopped and started Zoloft 50mg. I love it. No sexual side effects. 50 seems to be enough. Sleeping good. I hope it stays and 50 is enough. My issue even more than traditional depression has been easily agitated, anxious and "sour" as i call it. Yeah, Viibryd seems like a little too much for some.

I have been off the Viibryd now for 3 months and still have the joint pain and hard to walk. Like I said before, I would not recommend anyone to take this medication.

The zooming has still not gone away completely even three months later. My joints are painful. I still have hallucinations and nightmares on falling asleep and waking up unless I take ambien. I'm still dizzy. I tried switching to Lamictal alone after this misadventure but it did nothing except make me tired- I have run of the mill depression, not bipolar disorder- and I'm now just on St.John's Wort, fish oil 1,000 mg three times a day, a lot of exercise, a great diet, and stress reduction and therapy. I'm staying away from any pharmaceutical without some time on the market from now on.
