I too went off Viibryd ct......what a mistake!! I have had 90% of all the side effects here, unbelievable after taking 40mg daily for 4 months. The withdrawal is the worst! and I have withdrawn from Paxil in the past! Viibryd worked well for the first month (anxiety), then I stared getting dizzy and my memory was TERRIBLE!

I also can't grasp. And the bottom of my feet hurt to walk on. My calves and thigh muscles in the morning are so tight, I look like a Herman Munster walking inthe mornings or after have road inthe car for anny amount of time. I guess like someone else commented, It was the roll of the dice! Never know what any kinda of medication can do. Good luck with everyone. Just just hope this is not permanent!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Surely there's a nurse out there somewhere who knows more than any doctor and can get you fixed right up. Of course, that same nurse might also think you're naïve enough to believe that the only warning a drug like Viibryd originally listed was for an upset stomach.

And who says I never suffered any negative side effects from medication used to treat depression? I have. But I'm also conscientious enough to actually read about the issues BEFORE I start dumping stuff into my system. It's all a roll of the dice.

I love how someone who has not suffered can express a jerk off opinion! You spend a year not being able to move and not a single doctor for almost a year can figure out what is causing this horrible inflammation and severe pain! I have been off vii for 6 months and I still have pain and swelling! I have lumps on the bottom of my feet and hands that can't grasp things on some days still!!!! So warning or not my life has been completely disrupted from this med I can't even work!!!!

I had this side effect too. I'm 26 and was wondering why I hurt so bad. I mentioned it in passing, not even relating the two.Aren't we special.

Dose of Reality. A nurse in many cases is more knowledgeable than many doctors. A real doctor as you said can wind up killing you, so can a nurse. What troubles me the most is how you posted what sounds like an attack on a nurse. Perhaps reverting back and having a better upbringing will teach you how to communicate as an adult vs. being an attacking animal.

Does anyone have any issues with slowed down reaction time? I have been in a 3 car wrecks in the year that I have been on Viibryd, and before that - not one since the early 90s

A nurse? So you can't write prescriptions, only needed a basic understanding of most meds to get your degree, and that makes you an authority? LOL. I remember very well when Viibryd first came out. My REAL doctor (not a nurse) suggested I RESEARCH it as an option. And believe me, there were a host of side effects listed on what was then a very new drug. I can't think of a single medication I've ever taken in my entire life that listed only a single side effect; yet we are supposed to believe that a psychotropic drug was released with only a GI issues listed as a potential problem?

It's like many others have stated: Drugs have side effects. And we're talking about a drug that is used to treat people with mental issues (and many that are physical) of unknown origin. Did you know there was a girl that died a few years ago from applying too much Ben Gay? Pepto Bismol can cause Salicylate poisoning... and death. And don't even get me started on how many people die or come close from taking Vitamin C. Drugs are a risk. We assume those risks everyday, yet someone acts surprised that - sure enough - that long list of warnings really meant something.

Well I to this day certainly am very sorry I ever took this medicine. It has made all my muscles and joints hurt. And I still get the pains in my head that are very painful. I believe the people that are out pushing this drug, drug reps should take it for a year and see how they feel, and the people taking it. They can brag about it because they are getting a paycheck to say good things. I think they have made a bad product and I wish they would pull it off and maybe research it a little more. I have been in pain over a year now, and losing hope that I will ever be back to normal, this pain hurts when awake and in bed, awake or asleep. No narcotic's help with the pain, I do take tramadol and Ibuprofen quite often and they can't be long term d/t they will hurt my body in other way's. Well, I am glad if it is working for some and sure it won't work for us all.

The drug company doesn't list the side effects people are having? They are on the Viibryd website! Know what Arthralgia is? Paresthesia? Somnolence? How about Akathisia? And "brain zaps"? That is one of the most commonly listed side effects of ALL psychotic drugs, primarily when changing doses. They result from a global downregulation of serotonin receptors in response to increased levels of serotonin in the synaptic cleft. The warnings are all there. People don't do much research on what they put into their bodies. Aspirin kill people every year due to G.I bleeding, but we just accept that. Every drug has side effects.

Have been on viibryd for 6 months and have weaned myself off. Have been off for only 3 days and my blood pressure has dropped where it was before starting viibryd. Have lost alot of hair and have jaw pain and have alot of weird dreams and sleep alot. Hope things improve with time. Awful medicine. I'm glad it works for some, but be careful. I'm putting my life in GOD's hands where it belongs.

Honestly, this drug has been very helpful for me. I started taking it in late August of 2013 and have been taking 40mg since ramping up from the starter pack. Before starting the drug, I was extremely depressed, had withdrew socially from all my friends, had no energy to speak of, and sporadically dealt with thoughts of suicide. I have been on and off several anti-depressants over the last three years or so, including Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Lexapro, and Effexor, and I have to say this is the one that's made me feel like, well, myself again. Effexor made me extremely manic, and the rest didn't seem to help me at all. With Viibryd, I'm pretty level headed. The side effects I've experienced have been pretty standard... some minor GI issues, crazy dreams, oh and it takes forever to get off, which isn't always a bad thing. The worst part I'd say is missing a dose. If I miss by more than a couple hours I feel like I've been ran over by a bus, but so long as I remember, all is well.

The drug company certainly does not list the side effects people are having from this drug. The FDA would have never let them release it.

Does anyone know other webites that are talking about this?

My understanding is as long as company lists side effects they aren't liable. If Anyone knows differently let me know. I would most definitely want to hold them responsible for this misery.

There are SO many of these stories on this site, and I am sure there are many more all over the internet. It is without a doubt the worst medication I have ever been on....too many complaints and lawyers love drug cases.

I wish I knew it's been since August and I am still in pain. I can't work or do things that I was able to do before. I wish there was a way I could do something to get the viibryd taken off the market and have them pay for what they have done to me and my family. ;(

I now take a minimum dosage of Seroquel and Zoloft, both in generic form. For anxiety I take a very mild drug called Vistaril, not much more than a Benadryl. But I feel very evened-out now, emotionally--Seroquel is three times a day and at times makes me a bit drowsy but not terribly.
