> Thank you for your thoughts everyone. Funnily enough I am on 50mg of buspar and it has helped tremendously!
Thank God for small miracles. I think Viibryd hits different populations of 5-HT1a receptors than does Buspar.
> I actually have come down from 90mg believe it or not but it was causing weight gain.
I guess that's due to D2 antagonism and increased prolactin secretion.
> Scott, I think I will try Viibryd as you say there is nothing to lose. Did Viibryd not help you at all hence coming off it?
I felt improved during the first week or so. Thereafter, it was doing more harm than good. Coming off of it was not much fun. I became much more depressed and had to fight the thoughts and feelings of suicidality.
> I hope you are still improving Scott.
Today is day 14 of Pristiq treatment. I am currently taking 100 mg. I feel no worse now than I did while taking Nardil. This is a good thing, of course, but I'm not holding my breath that I am going to see a robust improvement from this drug.
A friend of mine had Effexor poop-out on her. She is now responding very well to Pristiq 100 mg.
