Today was my 1st day taking Viibryd, did not have the feeling as tho my heart was beating out of my chest, no heart palpitations. No sense of impending doom. Overal i feel better taking it then i did on the Lexipro.

Thank you! I give a lot of credit to my boyfriend who has encouraged me to seek help with my anxiety and depression. He himself deals with bipolar/manic depression and anxiety. With his help i have gone out and gotten the help that i have needed for years. I hope the medication is a successful part in my plan.

ronnellstc, you will be successful because you refused to stay stuck. Having the encouragement of your boyfriend allowed you to find a plan and go forward with life. xx

I just started it today, and I know it sounds weird, but i think i feel a difference from the Lexipro. I was taking 100mg of Lexipro, and i was on edge. emotional, antsy, felt like something was going to happen. Today I feel calm.
