| 1 | depression | Viibryd wears off fast; when it is wearing off I have suicidal thoughts, suicidal plans; makes depression worse; lots of crying. I guess the company pushed Viibryd on the market too soon, just to try and make money. No long term studies were done. I guess we are the long term study guinea pigs. | Don't take it. | F | 30 | 3 weeks 40mg 1X day | 2/10/2013 | 3 | Depression | Initially diarrea, then vivid, bad dreams and night sweats, Bad headaches. Dry throat mostly at night. Fatigue, I'm taking day naps which I've never done before. Then cannot sleep at night. I am also crying more. | This medicine has good and bad effects. On the good side the sexual effects that I had from Lexapro are totally gone and that is great. Lexapro also made me numb and with Viibryd I feel more intensely both good and bad experiences. Viibryd is not perfect for me but I will stick to it at the lowest 10 mg dose. | F | 45 | 4 months 10 1X day | 2/7/2013 | 2 | major depression, general anxiety | I CAN'T SLEEP!!! | F | 53 | 4 days 10 1X day | 2/3/2013 | 4 | Depression | Weight Gain, carb cravings, brain zaps | F | 32 | 5 months 30 MG 1X day | 2/2/2013 | 4 | Depression/Anxiety | Diarrhea, queasy stomach, loss of appetite | Just upped dosage to 20 mg and so far side effects have been minimal. Always struggled wi insomnia so no difference. After 3 days my mental state was so much better. Will def continue on with drug and see how it goes as i move up in dosage. | F | 47 | 8 days 20 1X day | 1/24/2013 | 1 | Anxiety | 10 lb wt gain, migraines(extreme), jitteriness, dizziness, and INSOMNIA! Would not recommend to anyone!!!! | F | 25 | 2 months 20 mg | 1/23/2013 | 1 | MMD | MIGRAINE UNBEARABE NIGHT TERRORS UNBEARABLE | PLEASE IF YOU ARE EXPERINCING MIGRAINE FROM THIS MEDICATION REPORT TO FOREST PHARMACEUTICALS,INC 800-678-1605 RIGHT NOW ITS AT 1 IN 100 PEOPLE BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOT EVERYONE REPORTS SIDE EFFECTS, THIS IS NOT GOOD , PLEASE CALL THEM. IT IS SHORT AND YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO SOMEONE. VERY RARE THESE DAYS THANK YOU | F | 47 | 3 months 40 MG 1X day | 1/22/2013 | 3 | Major Depression | 6 episodes of sleep paralysis with extremely disturbing nightmares. Demonic in nature. Never had this before. Started 1 week after 40mg. A little dizziness. About 5 lb weight gain once on 40. | I have to say I've been on a slew of meds over the years and this is the first med that I actually feel like a normal person, the way I used to be. A good mood and lots of energy. Very positive feeling. But the sleep paralysis is very upsetting. Can't even describe it. Nightmares are horrific. Due to that alone, I may stop taking it. The weight gain is too early to tell. Not crazy about that either. I've had no other symptoms other than what is noted above. | F | 41 | 2 months 40 1X day | 1/10/2013 | 5 | MIND NUMBING DEPRESSION | Nasty headaches. But I finally remembered you're supposed to eat first. So once I did that,headaches went away. | F | 64 | 4 months 40 mg | 1/6/2013 | 5 | depression, anxiety, panic attacks | Fatigue | F | 34 | 6 months 40 mg | 12/31/2012 | 1 | Anti depressant | Bloating , and cramping diarrhea, indigestion and acid reflux, also vivid dreams | F | 37 | 3 months 20 mg | 12/30/2012 | 4 | Depression | Weight gain, vivid dreams, restless leg syndrome, constipation. | F | 34 | 1 months 40 MG | 12/27/2012 | 4 | depression and anxiety | gas, vivid dreams, and excessive sleeping | first medicine for me to have a positive benefit without a slew of negative side effects. i have been on medicine for about 2 months, taking samples, and now am fighting the insurance company for pre-auth. however, i slept for 16 hrs today, NOT wanting to and very unlike me. this is the 3rd time i've slept like this in the past 2 months and i don't like it. it's the least of the negative side effects--i can just set my alarm but i still don't like that it's making my body so tired. | F | 34 | 2 months 40 1X day | 12/23/2012 | 5 | Anxiety and depression | Started taking viibryd at 10mg then 20 then 40. At 40 mg got brain zaps and felt really tired. It was a strange experience. Dropped back down to 20 mg and felt much better. This medication worked VERY well for me. Side effects were: I have gained 20 lbs over the year and got a few headaches. I did find that taking the medication at the same time every day was very important. I did so well in the last year on this medication that I am now weaning off it. I reduced the mg to 10, then 5 for 2 weeks. Today is my second day without it and I feel great. I did notice some sore muscles when I started reducing it but otherwise - all good. | I recommend this medication. It worked for me. | F | 39 | 16 months 20 1X day | 12/16/2012 | 3 | Depression/ Fibro/ Anxiety | Nausea, very gassy, bloated abdomen, craving for sweets, weight gain, worsened constipation | I felt Viibryd working just after 2-3 days. The crying spells and feelings of hopelessness were gone. I have been taken Cymbalta for 1 year which seems to have stopped working. I started Viibryd with 5mg and still 20mg Cymbalta once a day. Worked up to 15mg. Tried 20mg yesterday and felt extremely nauseous all day. I'm concerned about the weight gain and the increased appetite. Adderall doesn't seem to work with Viibryd which is weird. So far better than Prozac (zombie) and Pristiq (unbearable restless legs AND arms). I'll try for another two weeks and then will decide if this is for me. | F | 42 | 2 weeks 15mg 1X day | 12/16/2012 | 1 | DEPRESSION | VIOLENT AND AGGRESSIVE OUTBURST | SIDE EFFECT STOPPED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER STOPPING VIIBRYD. | M | 61 | 180 days 60mg 1X day | 12/16/2012 | 1 | ANXIETY | NIGHT TERRORS, WEIGHT GAIN AND WHAT FEELS LIKE SLEEP PARALYSIS | SWITCHING OFF OF IT AND BACK ONTO LEXAPRO | F | 43 | 3 months 20 1X day | 12/12/2012 | 5 | Major Depressive Disorder | At first intestinal disturbances, unable to sleep, high heart rate, uncontrollable erections, speeding, increased mood, increased motivation, able to drink alcohol more, increased appetite | This drug has had nothing but positive effects on my life and my depression. It may not be for everyone but it works wonders for me. | M | 20 | 10 months 40 MG 1X day | 12/11/2012 | 4 | Depression, OCD, anxiety | So far so good! | To the people saying "DO NOT TAKE THIS, everyones body is different-- I'm doing great on it. | F | 18 | 1 months 40mg 1X day | 12/11/2012 | 5 | Depression with peri-menopause | Gas mostly, which I treated with 180 mg of simethacone that I take twice daily. 1 cap 1/2 he prior to medication and 1 cap mid day. Decrease carbonated beverages and drinking with straws. I drink protein shake or coat stomach with oatmeal at night prior to bed time to prevent weight gain since it has to be taken with food. This seems to work well. I am perimenopausal so I attribute feelings of doom to that and I take black cohosh twice daily who h helps a great deal. | F | 49 | 10 days 10mg | 12/8/2012 |
