Viibryd For Me (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Hello....I am 38 and have been dealing with a divorce that started before I started on Viibryd. I am now on my 25th day of the starter pack. I haven't really noticed too many of the side effects of everyone else. I have noticed a craving for sweets, which I am trying to stop because my Dr. has had me on adipex for weight gain from zoloft. I haven't really gained any weight from what I can tell thus far.
I also haven't had any problems with stomach issues or headaches.
I have noticed my sex drive come back however....
I am just hoping that this pill is going to work for me. I haven't really been able to notice anything different. Do you all think maybe I just need to wait a while longer to notice????

Nicole,

Well you are the first of anyone on all the forums that I have heard say that they haven't noticed anything...lol.. I didn't have all the side effects either...but much craving for sweets, which I am not a sweet eater...have had to be very careful. I don't know anything about Zoloft, so I am not much help. I take Wellbutrin, Vii, and Xanax...this Vii has been an awesome drug for me. You can look on the other thread for my post. Good luck!!

Lisa,

Were you OK on the 20mg? My doc said that most people are staying at 20mg and that the FDA may change the recommended dosage to this.

I will keep my 40mg...lol...

I have been on several anti-depressants over the past 16 years. Whenever I would ween off one pil and go to another I never had any problems. I have been taking prestique for one year. I wasn't myself. It was hard for me to think, a little confused and I reequired much more sleep. I just dismissed these actions on getting older. (I'm 49) For the past month I have been trying to ween off and go on viibryd. This had been the worst experience of my life. I am dizzy, the brain zapps are terrible and now I really can't remember anything. I have to study hard to remember what I was going to do when I enter a diffrent room. It seems like my new favorite thing is to just sit and stare. OK folks, i'm not blaming this on getting older anymore! Help! Will this pass. I was given a starter pack of viibryd, i'm 5 days on the 40mg. but still taking a very small dose of prestique. I'm a very active, busy, busy person. This has me really depressed. Has anyone ever had this experience?

It can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks for the medication to reach its full efficacy in the body, so you may need to wait awhile longer.

We do have another thread on here that is very active, with many people posting and talking about their experiences using it, here's the link if you want to check it out:

There is also more information on the medication itself here:

Is there anything else I can help with?
