What if any side effects are people experiencing on viibryd

REPLY

REPORT

I just started taking Viibyrd and am noticing nausea and low grade headaches and dizziness. Still on 10mgs. My doctor specifically told me not to look online for the side affects... but.. these side effects make it tough to be productive, which is why I looked it up. I am a 44 yr old female.

I had the same thing happen to me. I stopped taking the medication after I had a horrific nightmare. I had heart palpitations almost everyday when the dose increased to 40mg. I had these "zaps" too along with the buzzing sound and weird sensation in my head. Its been 3 days since I stopped the medication and it is still happening. Awful.

This is The worst NUT/Depression pill I've ever taken an unfortunately I've taken several it totally wiped me an a marriage of what was coming upon 10 years . It made me say the worst things you can imagine to the person whom I loved the MOST in the WORLD . I went from HAPPY to ready to die in 60 seconds then ready to fly to the moon all in 61 seconds. I'm talking about from the racing thoughts to the anger to the sore as hell legs .

Started to take Viibryd for panic attacks/MDD. Was on it for about 3-4 weeks before pulling the plug myself and quitting. Number one side effect that made me stop was anger. I was very irritable. I wanted to argue and rage at people. I never did due to some extreme control, but it was bad. I also felt dark thoughts. Made depression worse. Also made anxiety worse. Panic attacks everyday. I needed Xanax so it wouldn't get too bad or I wouldn't feel too crazy. That's the other side effect, I just felt, crazy. Depressed, panicky, and seriously angry. Poor sleep. Only 3-4 hours even with Ambien. Bizarre, dark, dreams. Felt like I had the flu many mornings and days my body would ache so much. Also felt aches in my neck and back, like I slept on it seriously wrong. Constant runny stools, not one normal one. Painful cystic acne started popping up on my face, neck, back. Dry mouth. Vision was blurry at peak of medication. It was like there was a fog at the grocery store. Mood swings. Sometimes during one hour I would feel like contacting a friend just to talk and get through an anxiety/crazy spell. The next hour I'd be generally fine. I'm probably forgetting some. Needless to say this has been HELL. I've been on various SNRI's or SSRI's during periods of my life. Nowhere near this level of side effects or feeling so, angry/panic/crazy.

The half life says about 24 hours so it should be out of your blood/body in about 5 days. I'm about 8 days off it and I still feel bad.

If anyone can share with me when you started to feel "OK" after you quit, I'd appreciate it.

My doctor stressed that Viibryd should be taken with food. I take mine immediately after breakfast. Had slight nausea when first starting on 10 mg, I'm on 20 mg now with no nausea.

Patina, are you still taking Viibryd? If so, I'm interested to see how you're doing with it. I started it about 2 weeks ago and just started on the 20mg, and so far I like this drug, but I'm worried about it losing its effectiveness and/or getting these horrible side effects.

My 84 yar old mother has ben on Viibryd now for one month. She is now taking the 40 mg. dosage once per day and overall, seems much improved over her pre-Viibryd days. She is in a better mood overall and the times when she has become very agitated and angry have both been times when she was then diagnosed with a severe UTI, which causes dementia-like symptoms in elderly women.

Ok so when I started taking this (a little over a month ago), I loved it. Felt great, getting happier and way more energy before my starter pack was done. I was waking up early (5am or before) and ready to start the day. I wasn't complaining about that side effect. But after I got my regular Rx refill the first week of the start of my 2nd month, the energy went away and I got extremely tired and drowsy all the time. Has that happened to anyone else? Oh and I read someone was having "brain zaps"...me too. They are a little scary and annoying. But I just want my energy back. Any advice???

I am still only on the starter pack but once I started to take the 20mg dose, I began having severe pains in my knees, ankles, hands and feet. I had alot if trouble sleeping because Of the severe pain. This kept occurring every night I took the medicine. Even with Advil, the joint pain was severe. I am now titrating back off if it because my depression was actually better than this awful pain.

I have been on VII for about 2 weeks and the same stuff is happening to me. I am also having some joint stiffness in my knees but not anywhere else. My doc did tell me to only do 20 mg daily, not to go up to the 40 mg tab.

I've starting taking Viibryd in Aug 2013, after being on 40 mg. Celexa for a few years. I started with the starter packs until leveled at 40 a day. Wow, I hated it! Cold turkey'd it two weeks ago with nearly zero withdrawl. Can actually say that this is the first time in 20 years I haven't been on a antidepressant. My hope is to stay this way.

Off of Viibyrd x 3 weeks. I gained 20lbs on this drug.
The joint pain is unbelievable- I'm walking around like I'm 90.

Does anyone know how long this will last?

How long did it take you to put on the weight? My daughter also takes it (weaning off) and gained a lot of weight.
