Medication Question about Viibryd

[sayanything]

My psychiatrist put me on 40 mg of Viibryd a day. At first it seemed to be working and now nothing. It has been three months. I have religiously gone to my a psychiatrist for 10 years and have been on every combination of everything to treat my anxiety and depression. Has anyone ever been on this medicine before? 40 mg is supposedly the highest dose you’re allowed to go. Could someone please share with me their experience with this medication. Thank you

I was on it. But I'm also on other meds. It wasn't my only med.

It made me gain weight and I came off it.

Did you gain a lot of weight rapidly? I have gained 45 lbs in 4 months. I was overweight before, but now I am really overweight. I am on Seroquel, too.

[Dolphin14 in reply to sayanything]

Yes I think it was 20 pounds in 6 months. That's with healthy eating and exercise which I've always done.

I'm tall so I hid it well.

But, I told the md no more. The weight came right off when I stopped it. Within 2 months I was back down.
