Viibryd Headache

I'm 28 and was taken off welbutrin and buspirone and put on viibryd 40mg I was not dosed up BC I was already on the others. I have hard horrible headaches, more anxiety, muscle pain, sleeplessness, more frequent bowel movements (which I am greatful for), cravings for sweets and have gained 5lbs over the past two weeks :( I don't know what else to do the old meds only helped me concentrate. But did little to nothing for my anxiety and depression.

Hi, Ashely! Sorry about the problems you're having.

Side effects such as this may be experienced any time you start a new medication, or increase the dosage of an existing one. They can last for about 4 to 6 weeks, then they will usually start to taper off as your body has a chance to adjust.

However, if the headaches are that severe, you should definitely consult your doctor. It could be due to stopping the other medications and adding the new one, which may make symptoms even worse for awhile, so you may just need something to help treat or prevent them for awhile.

Are there any other questions or comments?
