User Reviews for Viibryd

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have had a lot of additional stress added in the last 4 years... death of a parent, a lot of hurtful things from my other parent, my spouse cheating, then everyday things like the stresses of young children, school, sports, etc. Over these years I have tried every antidepressant out there! It either didn't work, or it made me feel like a zombie. And they ALWAYS made my sex drive go to zero! I had given up on every prescription and had not taken anything for almost a year. I had no energy, it didn't take much for me to get annoyed and aggravated with people (including my kids) and I just didn't feel a lot of joy. My doctor tried me on Viibryd and I feel GREAT! I have great energy, don't lose my temper with my kids or husband, and still have sex drive!

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have atypical depression. I have tried Wellbutrin (allergic reaction), Zoloft (diarrhea, anxiety), Prozac (good experience), and Effexor, which made me crave alcohol everyday even though I generally dislike alcohol and am not a regular drinker. All of these gave me delayed ejaculation problems except for the Wellbutrin. I pretty much gave up on medicines until I had a major depressive bout and went back to the psychiatrist who suggested I give Viibryd a try. It has made everything so much better! No side effects, high energy and motivation, and has stabilized my usually volatile temper greatly. I've read a lot of negative reviews out there so I was compelled to write this review because in my case, rare as it may be, Viibrys has worked.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Awesome. Best medicine I've ever found for depression and anxiety. All my problems are over. I had diarrhea for two days, but then it has been bliss for a month now with ZERO side effects.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: No side effects. Relief of symptoms of depression was evident in the first week of taking this medication and are continuing. The medication is expensive ($200 for a month's supply), but a small price to pay for what it delivers.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I am finishing my 4th week of Viibryd. I'm afraid to jinx myself by saying this, but I feel I have my old life back again. The reality of being on an anti-depressant (Viibryd) and being MORE sexual MORE quickly is heaven to me! I have renewed hopes about a future I never thought I'd see. My last marriage ended because of Zoloft, Effexor, you name it, and hard to date, too, and explain why nothing's working and it isn't going to work. Please keep working, Viibryd!! My only side effect has been two nights of terrifying nightmares. I'll take those any day over not being able to be a complete woman.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have been on Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and Celexa. Struggling with depression for years, but Viibryd really has been the "panacea". It manages all of my symptoms and gives me energy like none of the other medications could. It's definitely different from other antidepressants and for some who experience some difficult startup syndrome, PLEASE stick with it for a few weeks. I've heard of a lot of people who had a difficult startup with this medication and the switch was just flipped one day out of the blue. Viibryd really is an improvement from other antidepressants and I encourage all to give it a try.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Anxiety: I have been on other anxiety medicines, which only added to my blood pressure spiking, but with Viibryd, my blood pressure has dropped down to normal readings, for example, 110/74, and I have the energy level I had before trying all of the other medicines. I highly recommend this medicine.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Anxiety: I have been taking Viibryd for 2 weeks now and I finally feel good again. No more anxiety attacks and my depression is lessening. I would totally recommend this product to anybody with anxiety.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I've been taking Viibryd for 3 weeks now, up to 40 mg, switched from Zoloft. I find that I have to take it at night to avoid being drowsy during the day, but everyday around 7:00 p.m, I start getting what feels like little electric shocks throughout my body.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: My doctor told me to eat lots of protein in the morning. The protein attaches to the active ingredient in the Viibryd. He said the worst side effects of this medicine would be nausea and diarrhea. He told me to eat the equivalent of an Egg McMuffin in the morning with my medicine. I'm up to 10mg and I eat 30-40gm of protein with it. I do have diarrhea, but I'm hopeful that it will go away once my body is accustomed to the new protein requirement. I'm a cereal lover. Eggs, ham and cheese are too much in the mornings some days, but I'm willing to do this because I feel so much better on this medication. I'm not snappy and I seem to have more energy.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Whatever it takes get on Viibryd today. Talk your doctor into a diagnosis that meets the general indication for this medicine and watch all your symptoms (real, imagined, and subtly feigned) of depression, anxiety, and many other axis 1 psychiatric disorders disappear like magic. Viibryd is totally awesome.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I've taken Zoloft. Made me feel spacy and disconnected. Took Celexa and it pooped out on me and made me extremely drowsy and fatigued no matter what time of day I took it. Added Wellbutrin to combat the energy and motivational issues. Turned me into a bipolar irritable basket case. Stopped taking Wellbutrin after 3 weeks and titrating off the Celexa and starting Viibryd. It may be expensive. On day 2 the sexual dysfunction I experienced with all 3 other medicines had disappeared. Dare I say it my libido was through the roof. Borderline nymphomaniac. And I have yet to feel the drowsiness that people are speaking of. Granted it's now day 4 and I'm already taking it at night.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have battled depression with this for 30 years. Taken every medicine on market. I take this medicine with Xanax. Yes, I have diarrhea BUT I'VE ONLY TAKEN 1 TABLET AND I FEEL BETTER ALREADY. PLEASE KEEP WORKING. I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT JUST AFTER 1 PILL.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I felt better right away on 10 mg. My problems were not overwhelming me anymore. I stopped obsessing. However, side effect was not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep. I am now up to the 20 mg dose. Still doing alright. Doctor prescribed Ambien. When I skip a day of Viibryd anxiety and agitation comes back. I am in a bad marriage and am contemplating divorce after 43 years. No wonder that I have anxiety and felt like I was falling apart.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: About 3 weeks now, I feel a little better, but I almost feel like I'm on speed. It increased my anxiety and heart beat so much, I could not be comfortable. And I couldn't sleep that well. Not working for me!

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Viibryd is a good medicine.....peanut butter toast helps with the nausea.....Dr. said peanut butter is the key!!! Protein mostly but if you are not a big eater in the morning...try the peanut butter. The nausea and diarrhea goes away after a few weeks.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Diarrhea is a major problem. Otherwise I think I feel better.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Awesome medicine, changed my life! Love Love Love it!

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Had both positive and negative effects. First the negative (Gastrointestional (diarrhea that goes away in time) numbness down arms and hands at night, insomnia, tingling in forehead in initial stages, swelling of face, hands, stomach, ankles, initial anxiety that subsided, up a few lbs but cannot say it is the medication yet closely watching diet to see but do seem to get very hungry in evenings). The positive is I feel better, not as negative or anxious, dealing with my mothers Alzheimer's disease better.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Anxiety: I just started taking Viibryd five days ago. I switched from Zoloft to Viibryd. I was having bad headaches and an overall feeling of yuck in the mornings. I started feeling better at the end of the day when I was going to take my next dose of Zoloft. I also could not sleep. I would wake up at night and then couldn't go back to sleep. Since taking the Viibryd, I have been able to go back to sleep when I woke up in the middle of the night. I am a bit sleepy in the morning, but I am feeling a bit better. I am hopeful about Viibryd. I hope that my condition continues to improve and my sleeping patterns continue to get better as I increase the dosage and as time goes on. Zoloft did help, but the side effects were too much for me.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I have used every antidepressant on the market over the past 15 years, as well as having ECT treatments, for major depressive disorder, persistent anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I don't want to jinx myself, but after the first day of taking this, I could actually tell a difference. I am just completing my first week of 10 milligrams per day, and I have already cut my Xanax dosage from 6 milligrams per day, down to 2 milligrams per day. I have not felt this good in years! And I have had ZERO side effects. I think the miracle I've all been waiting for is here!

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I'm so happy to see that many people have had positive results from this medication. I was on it for 5 days and had diarrhea so bad I had to stop. I lost 5 pounds in 2 days (granted I'd like to lose a few, but not like that). I've been off of it for 1 day now and I'm still running to the bathroom (it's not as bad, but painful). I wish I would have had the experience others have had. But this drug just isn't for me. Unfortunately, it seems that most antidepressant cause a number of side effects for me. Keeping me stable is a challenge. (I have bi-polar disorder)

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I am feeling substantially worse now that I have been on Viibryd for about three weeks. I had been on Zoloft, which helped quite a bit but not as much as I hoped. I'll give Viibryd another few weeks.

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: Been on Viibryd for several months, have tried other medications in past but sexual side effects were too bad. When I started Viibryd I had been depressed for several months, found myself more withdrawn, low energy, unsocial, and unmotivated. Since then I have felt like a new person only side effect was stomach issues during the first week. I now have lots of energy, very social, and motivated. I would recommend this to anyone considering an antidepressant and wants to avoid the sexual side effects. In my opinion A .

Viibryd (vilazodone) for Depression: I am on Viibyrd and I've had diarrhea and I cannot sleep at all.
