Updated

Hello everyone,

I wanted to open up a thread here to see if anyone has experience with combining Viibryd with Effexor. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hello, Ade8! How are you?

Generally, these two would not be considered safe to combine, because they both have effects on serotonin and if the levels of it in the brain are elevated too much, it can cause serotonin syndrome, which can be fatal.

Has your doctor told you to take them both?

Usually, in the case of resistant conditions of depression, anxiety or other mental health issues, different classes of medications are combined to bring it under control.

Hi Verwon,

I'm good. Thanks for asking. I have been reading about some different SSRIs that have been combined with SNRIs successfully, such as Effexor and Paxil. However, Viibryd is so new that there really isn't any information on the combo. I was on Effexor XR for about 10 years (150mg) so pretty much know what to expect from it. Right now I am on 10mg of Viibryd ONLY. I have a pdoc appointment, but it's over a month out. My GP has given me the script for the Effexor, to get back onto, so I was looking for info on taking the LOWEST DOSE of both meds together. 10mg of Viibryd along with 75mg of Effexor. I feel like these two could be a winning combo for me, but am looking for guidance. Thanks again!

I just started on viibryd 4 days ago, 10 mg, and am going off effexor. I experienced terrible anxiety this afternoon. My doc said to stop taking effexor. I just found out the two should not be combined. Could this be the cause of anxiety?
