Joe:
Chris here. I'm the guy who's evaluating Viibryd after 10 days. Perhaps normally, I wouldn't do that (evaluate a drug so quickly). I've come to this board on and off for over ten years, though not as often as others, perhaps. When I saw your post (which started evaluating Viibryd after Day 1, I think), I just decided to share my experience with the drug as well. I thought it would be helpful as an add-on to this thread, and I wanted to interact with someone who was also taking the drug. No more, no less. Even though you and Scott are "puzzled," I'd like to continue to share here. In terms of skipping the prescribed dosing, I did jump up to 40mg a few days before I was supposed to (Yes, I guess I'm "desperate." I'll own that.) But I've been through the SSRI drill enough to get a feeling of how these drugs affect my body/brain. Why another SSRI if the ones I've tried in the past have been unsuccessful? My next stop is Nardil or a tricyclic, and I'd just prefer to have something work with fewer side effects than one of those drugs. That's my story.
