Nevermind -- I took my first dose last night and the gastro effects are so bad I'm not taking it again. On to the next drug...

> I was just prescribed Viibryd (what an awkward name) today! My pdoc said it tends not to be numbing like other SSRIs can be (I got emotionally numb on Zoloft and Prozac). Did your doctor tell you to take it in the morning or night? I forgot to ask. Apparently it can work more quickly than the other SSRIs -- we'll see. Kind of afraid of the potential diarrhea side effect, but if you take it with food it's supposed to lessen gastro side effects.

> Mechanism of Action: I take low-dose propranolol for anxiety, which I read is a 5HT1a antagonist -- will it counteract the 5HT1a agonist effects of Viibryd? Should I stop taking the propranolol while I see if Viibryd does anything? Didn't know this until now so didn't ask pdoc about it...
