Viibryd Working Great For Me (Page 3)

There's so many scary posts written here that I just wanted to share my own experience so that those considering Viibryd know it can be a positive benefit. My wife of 20 years let me know that she wanted to leave me, I dealt with it fine for a while but then went into deep depression and had severe anxiety that prevented me from sleeping for 4 days. My doctor prescribed Viibryd for my "situational depression". It took 3 days to kick in, but once it did I started feeling much more like my old self. I was still feeling depression, but able to handle it. After 7 days I went up to 20 mg per the regular schedule and wow, I feel like my old self, but even better! I'm more positive than I've been in a long time, find it easier to laugh, and am no doubt much more pleasant to be around. My doc said that most people that go to 40 mg complain that it's too much and go back to 20 mg. Certainly for me 20 mg is doing the trick, I feel no need to bump it up at all. Hopefully in a couple of months when my wife moves out and I get settled into my "new normal" life I can ease off of it, but for now it's making life much more easier and pleasant to handle. As far as side effects, I've had trouble sleeping which could be the depression. The doc prescribed something else for that but said after a couple of weeks on the Viibryd I probably won't need it anymore. I also had some diarrhea early on, but that seems to have stopped. I take the pill in the evening so that if I have stomach problems I can deal with it at home. I also make sure to eat something whenever I take a pill. That's it, very few problems and lots of positive benefit for me, just finished my 2nd week on it.
