hallowedink Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 There's also a website: https://www.viibryd.com/ Though I don't know how helpful it will be. I assume if you google the drug you will also find quite a bit of information and accounts of people who have tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crab76 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I tried it. I didn't like it at all. Worst I ever felt on a med. I couldn't get out of bed. Super tired, Headache, dizzy, just all over bad feeling. I took it almost two weeks so I tried to give it a fair shot but I just couldn't take it anymore. But I've seen some posts from ppl who did well on it. It just wasn't the med for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Must keep an eye on this if it gets approved in the UK as Mirtazapine isn't really benefiting at all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnxietyGirl74 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I tried it, and quit it last week. It gave me really bad acid reflux, and I also gained five pounds on it. I'm now on Paxil, which seems to be working much better, and I have taken off some of the weight I put on. I didn't like it at all, but that was just my experience on it.

Purefire80 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have also tried it. First I began with the starter sample pack at 10mg which I was splitting into 5mg tabs because I am very sensitive to meds. Felt nothing the first day. The 2nd day, really bad headache which pretty much got progressively worse each day. By the end of 3 weeks and titrating up to 20 mgs, I had migraines everyday, and just felt awful. I felt malaise, achy, sometimes nauseous, and like a stranger in my own body. I thought I was sick with something and then I thought to myself, maybe it's the medication. So I stopped taking it for a week. Symptoms started to disappear. Then I tried to do the Vybriid again, this time at a slower pace. The symptoms returned and I lasted maybe a week on it. That was about a month ago. I had not tried any new antidepressant yet. I figured let me try one more time, third time's a charm. I took a 10mg pill and split it into 3 equal pieces. I only took one piece of that 10mg last night, and within an hour, a massive, splitting headache. I've decided that it's definitely not for me. However, I have read stories that it has worked great for other people. I, unfortunately am not one of those people and back on the road to finding another med that works.

Linds.. SSRI's are treated for both depression and anxiety and a whole list of other things, not to mention off label use as well. You noted that you tried Vybriid, Celexa, and Paxil, There are several more SSRI's or even SNRI's that you can explore. Unfortunately, that't the burden of trying to find the right med, because it can take time. Just bear with it, and the right one will come. Talk to your doc and tell them that you are having all these side effects.....maybe there is a better drug out there you can take that can take care of multi-symptoms. For example, there are some antidepressants that can also be used at night time as a sleep aid ie Romeron, Trazadone. These are merely just suggestions....I would definitely communicate as best as possible to your Pdoc or Nurse Practitioner and let them know the severity of your panic attacks. Hope that helps.

Purefire80 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Anyone knows if this drug is effective for OCD? Not sure that it has been approved for OCD yet, but it's possible doctors may still prescribe it to treat OCD. I do know that Luvox (Fluvoxamine), an SSRI is one that is used to treat OCD.
