Drake Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 found this site while surfing the net, and thought i'd give it a try. all of my various maladies may be found in my signature, and i've been off and on various medications for the past fifteen years. enjoyed a stint in the looney bin about seven years ago, which i can't really recommend... the food was awful. thanks to cancer, i found myself widowed at the age of 39 a few years ago, and am very much stuck in a bad place on account of that... an attitude for which my wife would have kicked my ass, and rightfully so. despite that, i am a single father to wonderfully well-adjusted eight-year-old, who is my entire source of motivation. the therapists call me co-dependent because of that, but i don't particularly care... if it gets me out of bed, i'll take it. i started viibryd in march, and am beginning to flatline in an alarmingly apathetic fashion. my mis-adventures among the psychiatric community have been disheartening at best, but i guess i give myself credit for continuing to make an effort... it's either that or spend days on end in my pajamas, which doesn't exactly set a good example for junior. anyhow, thanks for reading, and i look forward to chatting with all of you. - drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacy9745 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi Drake, I just signed up for the site today. How is viibryd working for you? I mean as far as side effects go? I started it last Fall and had terrible side effects. I had awful restless leg syndrome every night while trying to sleep and it did not do much for my depression either. My Doctor put me back on Cymbalta and Abilify. I was just curious. Glad you are here. I have an 8 year old. She is my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 hey stacy - i've had the least amount of side effects with viibryd... but primarily it liquifies everything i eat, and rockets it out of my body in short order. (i don't think weight gain will ever be an issue with viibryd.) i haven't slept well in years, so i may or may not have the restless leg... it's kind of academic, since i constantly wake up anyhow. i mostly feel a resigned sense of ambivalence on viibryd. my doc thinks i can feel better than i do, so we are working from 20 mg up to 40 mg. i guess i better start eating more. my eight year old is my life as well... i can't imagine where i'd be without her. take care, and see you around the forum!
