| 1 | Depression; OCD | Frequent sleep paralysis | For many years I have experienced an episode of sleep paralysis no more than once every 5 or 10 years. On Viibryd, once I reached 40 mgs, I was experiencing sleep paralysis almost every day, sometimes multiple times in a single night. The paralysis on Viibryd was more frightening than prior instances because it felt like it was occurring with my eyes open in certain instances so that I could see visual images around me. A few times it felt as if I was lying on top of another person or another person on me. Upon awakening I could confirm that wife was on other side of bed. One of the most creepy meds I have taken. Switched to Lexapro and Buspar -- much better and no side effects. | M | 59 | 5 weeks 10-40 mgs 1X D | 1/1/2014 | |
