Interestingly, there was no loss of pleasure sensation at any time. Some people describe "genital anesthesia" with SSRIs. Do you experience a similar numbness?

> I think Viibryd is worth a shot. Brintellix was pretty awful (suicidal).I'm glad you have the courage to try yet another medication, considering your previous experiences. As a full agonist, Britellix might pound on 5-HT1a receptors too hard for you. I don't really know. Viibryd is a partial agonist, and could perhaps help stabilize serotonin activity.
I thought Viibryd was a clean drug with regard to side effects. I wish it would have worked for me for more than just a week. It felt pretty good, though.
You've been sick for a long time. It might take a few months of steady treatment to feel substantially better, even on the best drugs. If it helps at all, and you find the side effects tolerable, try not to judge its ultimate effectiveness during the first 4-6 weeks.
