Joe:
It's good to know that Viibryd is working so well for you. For me so far, into Week 4, it's similar to other SSRIs for me. After meeting with my p-doc, I'm up to 50mg a day. I still do not feel a significant anti-anxiety/anti-depressant effect. If anything, it has a blunting effect--a bit pro-depressive--not opening me up the way I'd like it to. (I think another new Viibryd taker commented on that in this post stream.) I've also got a bit of anorgasmia and my anhedonia really hasn't lifted, but I've been on SSRIs pretty much continually for the past 3+ years. I don't have any other significant side effects, no weight gain yet, and I lost about 10 pounds after stopping Paxil and Serzone several months ago. I'm going to stick this out for a couple of months, but my hopes are not high.
