It may be the sign of an allergic reaction, but since it's isolated to your face, it's difficult to say.

Have you contacted your doctor?

That would be the best thing to do, so you can discover if it's due to the medication or something else.

I have been on Viibryd since Aug 23 2012. I am weaning off the Viibryd now after seeing a dermatologist and making the connection of starting the Viibryd, then itching. After looking back at a diary I had been keeping, I realized that minor itching of my left ear began by 2 weeks after starting the Viibryd, but i began taking Nasonex to check for an un-related allergic reaction. The itching stayed at bay, mostly in/on my left ear. I stopped the Nasonex in January, then by February, I was blooming in a rash - very itchy, in different areas - almost looked and felt like Poison Ivy. The rash/itch reaction is not as severe anymore, but I am still fighting it until I am off the Viibryd. (going off the Viibryd is another issue, but that's where I gotta go). Good luck to you.

I have only been on Viibryd 2 days at 10 mg. Rash started the first day, it looked like acne. Second day more red bumps popped out. I woke up today with a raised red rash on my jaw that is itching. I am 53, I have not had acne in 30 years. I am stopping this today. It is not worth it. Btw, I am on no other medication, it's the Viibryd.
