I wanted to go off my antidepressant 150 mg. of pristiq My doctor dropped the 50 mg. of pristiq and started me on 10 mg of viibyrd . I'm sick all the time, dizzy, fill like i'm going to throw up all the time and very depressed. I wanted to go off antidepressants all together, why do doctors just keep putting you on more pills. I've been taking antidepressants for over 22 years, I just retired at 62 and can't afford to be on this medicine any more.

Hello, Brenda! How are you doing? Sorry that you are experiencing such symptoms.

Withdrawal effects are always a possibility when stopping antidepressant medications, so your doctor may have switched you to the low dose of Viibryd to try to prevent them, but only your doctor can really tell you for sure.

Learn more Viibryd details here.

And as to the doctor always putting you on more pills, please remember that no matter what your doctor prescribes, it's entirely up to whether or not you take them. Your doctor can't make you do so. You are free to refuse to take any given medication, at any given time.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
