> I don't know about viibryd brain Zaps. wasn't on it long. But every time I'm going off a SSRI as I am now I have the zaps. I found a company that sells Omega 3 - basically fish oil. They told me to take 4 gels, equal to 4800mg at once of EPA/DHA. They say it works fairly quickly. I tried it a few times and the zaps were gone in 30-45 minutes. The website is trb health.com. Maybe it will help others too.
Hi! I found this site by looking up the maximum dosage of Viibryd. I called my doctor yesterday to up some of my meds because my depression has been bad. I got hurt the week before Thanksgiving (I'm clumsy and I fell, on my shoulder) and I believe the constant pain is what is affecting my depression. I am on 40 mg's right now and I got a message from my doc's nurse that she was going to prescribe me the maximum dosage of the Viibryd, and I wasn't sure what that was. Since my pharmacy somehow never got the fax, I wanted to check it out since I have extra pills and thought I could start taking it while waiting for the pharmacy. Anyway, what got me to respond is the brain zaps that you all are talking about. Something happens to my brain, and what you all describe sounds like it. I have called them anger seizures because they usually (though not always) happen when I'm angry. They pass very quickly. I can't even describe it other than something happens to my brain. How I even know it is my brain vs just my head I don't know, but I know it is my brain. I'm thinking these brain zaps are what is happening to me. So I wanted to just say thanks! I never connected it to any of my meds. I have been on Viibryd for well over a year.
