Well, it looks as though Viibryd will not be my magic potion. I am losing more ground each day as my depressive illness asserts itself. My guess is that the improvement I experienced over the course of the first few weeks was actually an effect due to the discontinuation of Nardil. It has happened to me before that discontinuing Nardil has produced a withdrawal-rebound improvement that lasts 2-3 weeks. It is possible that Viibryd "piggy-backed" this rebound effect and may have caused me to feel genuinely better temporarily.
I intend to keep taking Viibryd for a few weeks. I guess you never know what can happen with these drugs. My guess is that I will end up switching from Viibrid to either Effexor or Pristiq and just accept that I will be denied a life without depression - at least until there are new drugs and new understandings. Not fun.
