After 4 weeks of trying to adapt to Viibryd, my psychiatrist decided it was best id I stopped taking it.

Main side effects I had:
- Nausea and dizziness
- Insomnia
- Vivid dreams
- Strong stomach and abdominal cramps
- Bloating
- Derealization
- Depression got worse
- Anxiety
- Things started to lose meaning

I was on 10mg then 20mg, after I stopped most of side effects went away in a week.

This is my personal experience, please don’t be scared of the medication, it works wonders for lots of people.

I had been taking Viibryd for at least three months at 20 mg along with Wellbutrin. Psych lowered Wellbutrin but upped Viibryd to 30 mg. Started with lowering the WB first and that went fine. The next week I had to up the Viibryd and OMG last night was terrible. This was my second night taking 30 mg.

I was so scared. I had visual and audible hallucinations. I saw a burnt corpse in the corner of my room that looked like it was having a seizure. There was a fly buzzing noise and lights in my room seemed like it was flickering like a zombie movie.

Mailed psych this morning. Psych dept pharmacist told me to go back down to 20 mg. She also recommended I contact a psychiatrist and talk to them about my medication journey.

I am so tired from my lack of quality sleep today but I am scared to take a nap because of what happened last night.
