.I have just been prescribed Viibryd for anxiety. I have been on everything under the sun and my doctor is at the end of his rope with me. This is pretty much our last option. I would love some advice on this med as I am always Leary of side effects with new meds. Particularly weight gain, as I have recently lost a lot of weigh and don't want to gain it back. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Viibryd - any advice from those who have tried it?

Hey mkalafus,
Viibryd is a relatively new antidepressant with little track record, just hit the market back in April 2011. You may experience the usual side effects when first starting the Viibryd such as headache, nausea and diarrhea, but these will pass with continued use. It will take several weeks for it to reach maximum effectiveness so give it a good trial. As far as the weight gain, not sure to be honest, but just watch those calories and should do fine. Good luck,
Laurie
