> Scott, I'm in the same boat with you. I'm going to try to stay with viibryd but my anxiety is off the charts. Did you get any anxiety relief with viibryd?
Viibryd definitely caused me to experience mild to moderate anxiety while I was titrating up to 40mg. I think there is a tendency for this drug to increase anxiety rather than decrease it. Until someone responds very well to Viibryd, we won't know if this anxiety disappears with time or is a sign that it won't work.
> I'm only 2 days at 20mgs so I don't know if it will improve my depression.
I'll have to speak to my doctor again. He said that it takes longer to respond to Viibryd than to other antidepressants.
Make sure you impress upon your doctor how severe your anxiety is. Perhaps he will give you something to reduce it temporarily. This was a common practice with Prozac when it was discovered that it was producing anxiety as a side effect at the beginning of treatment.
