Viibryd Withdrawal Information (Top voted first)

I have taken Effexor XR for many years-it stopped working, so I weaned myself off and took nothing since this past July. I do take Xanax 1mg 3xday.
Well-Life took a left turn on me and started on Viibryd. Bad Move! I'm very sensitive to meds-I took the 10 mg for 3 days and cut it down to 5mg for 2 weeks. I did 2 days of 2.5 then stopped. My Dr put me on 3mg Xanax ER ( per my request) and here's what's happening. No viibryd for 3 days now and I have TERRRIBLE nightmares and sleep in what feels like clips. The Xanax I guess is wearing off while I'm sleeping and I am Miserable!! Anyone know how long it takes to get viibryd out of your system?? Any experiences with Xaxax ER? I'm not sure which one is doing the most harm. Help please!!!

Hello, Shari! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problems you've experienced.

It will likely take a couple weeks for things to start to return to normal.

As to the Xanax, if it's wearing off too early, you may be able to adjust what time of day you're taking it.

The FDA warns that this medication may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you for your concern. The Viibryd finally cleared my system and the Xanax ER is Amazing!! No more ups and downs. I take it in the morning and it's still working at bedtime! It has really stabilized my blood pressure also. With my experience with Viibryd-I'm surprised ANYONE can take it! I realize all drugs work differently with different people-but I can say I would Never suggest it to anyone. Thank you Again!
