I am soooo glad I can take my Xanax!! I have major anxiety when driving and it has helped me soooo much!! I had gotten to the point I could hardly go anywhere without going very slow. Still working on it, but the Xanax is great!! Glad to know someone has been taking the Viibryd a couple of weeks... So far I am doing fine...I noticed today in a stressful situation that I didn't get as crazy as normal...lol.. Glad there are people to talk to about this new med...!

Can definitely relate to the anxiety. Difficult to make it through the day. I'm is my second week of Viibryd and it appears to be helping. Good luck!

I'm starting this today too. I'm on Welbutrin XL but it's made my anxiety 10 times worse. Can't take zanax b/c of a suicide attempt two years ago and inpatient nuthouse stay...sigh...so I'm hopeful this will help. I'm bipolar with a lot more down than up. Can anyone relate?

Just started it today. Ran out of Cymbalta last night and my drs appt was this morning. How convenient! My doc gave me the sample package which titrates you from 10mg to 40mg in 30 days. He had JUST received them from the pharm rep and was excited to have a "guinea pig." LOL I love and trust my doc (11 years now) and he has high hopes for this one, so I'm game. I'm hoping for a little energy out of it and maybe even some weight loss? (I know. That is far too much to ask. *sigh*)
One thing he stressed is to take the meds WITH FOOD. He said that should greatly reduce the likelihood of any g/i side effects.
I'll keep posting and watching as time goes on.

So far, so good....course it has only been 4 days...lol... First day I will say I was a little dizzy, have had a little bit of stomach problems. But, I seem to be in a better mood, maybe just cause I am so hopeful that this will be something awesome...lol... I am on 20mg and am switching to 40 after 10 days... Will let you know!!

I have some side effects of diaharrea... sometimes not real bad but can be annoyhing at times. I am wondering if heat can affect someone more on Viibyrd. I get nausea with heat (and it gets hot where I live... last week it was 115 with heat index). Also I get hot easier... almost like hot flashes but since I am not old enough to get those, I am not sure what is going on. I do know I was not experiencing this on my previous medicine (Celexa).

I have never taken it, but can provide a little information about it.

It contains the active ingredient Vilazodone and it is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Unlike similar medications, it has been shown to help in as little as one week, with major improvement being shown around 8 weeks.

It is also well tolerated and, so far, has been shown to have minimal side effects, but those that were experienced can include: somnolence, diarrhea and nausea.

More details:

Are there any other questions?

Will do! Am very hopeful as well. Lot of anxiety during the transition, but I think that's the Effexor getting out of my system.

Thanks, and keep me updated on how you feel. I take Welbutrin and am adding this med. Used to take Lexapro with the Welbutrin, but it just make me feel like nothing, so I got off it. Hopefull, and from what I have read, this is a lot better!!
