Been On Viibryd For A Week

Updated

At first I was a wreck, super high anxiety and depression and I cried several times a day. I think that might have been due to stopping my previous med Celexa though. I'm on day 8 of Viibryd and I really feel like it's starting to help. I take it at night when I plan on going to sleep soon because it gives me stomach upset, not really nausea either but a bad sharp burning pain above my navel. It's nothing that keeps me from sleeping but something I'd rather not deal with during the day hence the night time dose. Another con to my experience with Viibryd so far is I took my first 20 mg. dose last night and had a horrible night trying to sleep. It was hard for me to fall sleep because I had bad anxiety and mild panic attacks. Then once asleep I kept waking up. However despite the lack of sleep last night I don't feel that tired today. So now I'm having my doubts on the 20 mg dose. Not sure if I should stay on 20 for a couple more days and see or cut back down to 10 today and stay on that for another week.

It is normal to experience more side effects any time you change the dosage, so it may take a few weeks at the 20mg dose, before things settle down again.
