When I take my new medication Viibryd I notice my legs and arms sometimes feel almost asleep or numb. Almost a pins and needles feeling. Is this a side effect? Is there a way to stop this feeling or treat it?
Does Viibryd cause pins and needles in legs and arms?

Hi, Alicia!
"Common (1% to 10% of users): Dizziness, paresthesia, sedation, somnolence, tremor"
Side effects generally resolve within days to a week or two but as masso says they should always be reported to your health care professional.
Best regards and I hope this goes away for you quickly.

The side effects of "pins and needles" are less common side effects which must be reported to your DR. asap.
