This med has changed my life mentally. I have not felt this way in almost 30 years. I am a 68 yr young female. I have been on this med over 3 months.
Unfortunately I have had a back ache since 2 weeks after starting this med. Please help!
Anyone having lower back pain while on Viibryd?

Hi maxeen- I don’t see back pain per say as a list of possible side effects in my prescribers info- and haven’t had any pts complain of that. I do see that muscle pain/stiffness can be a side effect. Is your back pain in your low back? I’m really happy for you tht this Med is helping you feel better (besides the back pain) -stacey
Hi, Maxine! I was going to say the same thing as the Nurse. I would ask your prescriber for advice as the use of OTC's such as ibuproben can carry a moderate risk of bleeding as an interaction when used with SSRI class antidepressants. Also, you would want to rule out an unrelated underlying cause.
Best regards and I hope you feel better soon. Wildcat
