New medication

[Nannydi]

Has anyone here had any experience with Viibryd for depression? My doctor suggested it last week and I started at only 10mg. Have had a constant headache all week. I think I would rather be expressed.

I meant depressed not expressed.

I've been on Viibryd since October 2018, so about 4 months. For the first few weeks I had trouble sleeping, headaches, stomach pains, and diarrhea. Those are all pretty much gone now, except I occasionally have some minor problems falling and staying asleep.

However, I have started to develop a bit of a high blood pressure since starting this medication so my doctor might take me off if that doesn't go down.

As for helping with depression it's been an improvement but it's not perfect. It's gotten rid of the majority of my negative thoughts and I can at least somewhat focus on accomplishing things during the day. The difficulty falling asleep actually helps, because I had a bad habit of sleeping as a copping mechanism for my depression.
