| 1 | Depression; OCD | Had to stop because it caused frequent sleep paralysis | M | 59 | 10-40 mgs 1X day | 6/25/2023 Patient History | 4 | depression, anxiety, ocd | No side effects other than a brain buzz now and then. | I have severe problems, and this has cured most of my issues. I am as well as I have ever been. My problem is the cost. I am not able to work, and have to rely on others to pay for the meds. Obamacare is expensive and pays very little on this. After insurance I still have to pay 120. a month I have to rely on the kindness of others. I am very ill, I have been ill since I was a child. This is an inherited problem. The drug controls my need to shop lift and hoard. | F | 35 | 700 days 40 1X day | 12/2/2016 | 3 | Anxiety, depression, OCD | Nausea, diarrhea, problems sleeping, angry | I went three days without access to my meds. I basically had a psychotic episode and almost was hospitalized. Plus my insurance doesn't cover most of it so it's expensive as hell. | F | 32 | 3 months 40 | 8/18/2016 | 1 | Ocd, anxiety, help me relax | Went crazy on this drug. Very irrational behavior, extreme anger, suicidal feelings, irritability , anti-social behaviors, terrible dreams, crying over anything | Do not take this drug! | F | 37 | 4 days 40 | 3/29/2016 | 3 | Depression, Anxiety and OCD | Weight gain, decreased libido, increased blood pressure, vivid nightmares, increased insomnia, increased carb cravings!!!!!! and loss of motivation to exercise. | During the 6 months I have been on 10 mgs of Viibryd, I have packed on 17 lbs, have zero sex drive (possibly from the weight gain, because I still have sexual dreams) and have decided to wean off this drug. When I first started Viibryd, my doctor reassured me that Viibryd wouldn't cause weight gain/sexual side effects. Over the course of 6 months, I have slowly gained weight and feel horrible about my appearance. Whenever I mention my side effects to my doctor, she always says "Well, you're feeling better, so what's a little weight gain?" I swear she knew I'd gain weight because she told me not to Google Viibryd (I did anyhow), but I decided to give it a chance. I am now convinced that every time Big Pharma develops a new, unpatented antidepressant, they claim "No weight gain/sexual side effects!!!", because they KNOW they can get doctors to push this new, expensive med, before the ugly truth slowly gets around. They also KNOW that those 2 major issues are most patient's biggest concerns!!! LIES!!! Twenty years ago, I believed my doctor when he said the same exact things about Prozac. After 2 years of gaining at least 25 lbs, craving carbs like a maniac, and feeling like a munic zombie, I decided to search for the truth, and lo and behold, I found many other people having the same experience!!!! Sick of the lies, and now I will only try something that has been around for a while with well-known, documented side effects. I am tired of feeling | F | 47 | 6 months 10 mgs 1X day | 2/7/2015 | 5 | Depression, Anxiety, OCD | None bad enough to mention that haven't gone away already after a week. Only side effect I have now is I talk loudly in my sleep, so much so I wake myself up. The dreams are incredibly vivid, but not nightmares. ONLY side effect I have... talking in my sleep... lol | I have tried every SSRI and antidepressant for years. Prozac has been my best bet for the past several years. I heard about this new one, I asked to start it. Before I finished the trial/start-up pack, I started to feel better. So much so I asked my doctor to write me a Rx to continue. I believe at about week 4, I have never felt so good in my life. Anxiety has almost all but left my system. I do not constantly worry anymore. I have such an increase in confidence now. I am very social and have found myself participating in social events and going to gatherings etc... without any coaxing or persuation. I even attend the gym more now. | M | 41 | 6 weeks 20 1X day | 8/27/2013 | 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 | 3 | Anxiety, depression, OCD | I've taken a wide assortment of antidepressants (both SSRIs and SNRIs), and the one that helped the most was Lexapro. Unfortunately, it stopped working. I was recently put on Viibryd by my psych, and I've had relatively few side effects so far. No digestive problems whatsoever. I have become much more emotional, though--like reliving past tragedies in my head and sobbing about them for a few hours. It's almost like reliving the grief cycle. Also, Viibryd has made me prone to bouts of aggression. Some days I think about punching some of my annoying co-workers (ha, ha), but I've managed to control my anger thus far. I've also had some really bizarre dreams and night sweats. Fun times all around. As for anxiety, it's only somewhat effective. I'm hoping it will decrease over time, since I've only been on this for a month. | F | 33 | 1 months 20 mg | 10/2/2012 | 1 | OCD GAD | Diarrhea, nausea, extreme drowsiness, over medicated feeling, vision problems, increased irritability, anger outbursts, sore eyes, hot and cold flashes, night terrors, dizziness | F | 28 | 10 days 10 mg-20 | 9/30/2012 |
VIIBRYD (VILAZODONE HYDROCHLORIDE): Vilazodone is used to treat depression. It is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and partial serotonin receptor agonist. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters such as serotonin).
