Side effects from Viibryd

I have been taking Viibryd for about a month and a half now. I've noticed some minor twitching/ muscle jerking in my hand as i fall asleep. But last night my boyfriend said my entire body was jerking. Never had that happen before. Has anyone experienced this?

Stop immediately! And call your doctor. I am on Vibryd and muscle twitching is a side effect. I was told to stop immediately if I experience it. Fortunately I haven’t and the medication is working but you definitely have to try something else! All the best ❤️

I spoke to my doctor last night, and he agreed that I need to stop taking it. It was working very good for me, minus the recent twitching/jerking. I started off on Lexipro, but i always felt like I was in a constant panic attack on it. Hopefully I can find something that works.

Thank God! Lexapro is good but if you were getting worse than that’s good you went off it. Hopefully you find something that works! Keep trying!
