I'm on viibyrd... I've been own for almost a month. The frist 3-4 day's after I started it i had a very bad taste in my mouth, also my mouth was very dry and I stayed thirsty all day for about two weeks... then this went away... these are side effects of viibryd. I hope you feel better and the side effects go away. good luck Mary.
I haven't had THIS side-effect from the Viibryd - the metallic taste - but I do know what you're talking about. I have had this with other prescription meds I've taken; it's very unpleasant & I had to force myself to take them. Unfortunately, that's the only way I could deal with that problem. If the bad taste doesn't go away, talk to your doctor about it; it may be a reaction some people have to the Viibryd. Good luck to you, Mary!
Constant dry mouth with the worst taste, nasty, brush teeth constantly but doesn't help. Want very sweet candy(only thing I can taste) all the time and lots of liquids. Am borderline diabetic, so this can't go on. Other symptoms diarrhea, slight nausea, abdominal pain, acid/sour stomach, makes acid reflux worse yet I want to eat all the time (sweets) bloated stomach, excessive gas, unusual drowsiness/sleep all the time and cannot get woke up, will go back to sleep, foggy headed, dizziness, joint stiffness, stomach discomfort and upset, tingling in legs-aggravates my restless leg syndrome. No nightmares yet but have only taken 6 from a starter pack of 10 mg tablets and am literally scared to continue. I am 63 and have a very hard time finding an anti-depressant. This is worse than the depression.

I am on Viibryd for a year now. I have a horrible taste in my mouth constantly and sometimes I have a burning sensation in my mouth. Not even food taste like it should. I do believe it is the medication.
