Hey Phillipa,
Argh! I see the other thread now. I fell victim to the very mistake I warned about in my first message - searched on Vibryd instead of Viibryd.Anyway, here's a copy of some of the link info I posted on that other thread. I wanted to add it to this one eventually too.
My pdoc suggested that I keep an eye on the websites below. From what I've seen, Daniel Carlat is a consumer advocate of sorts who provides useful info on pharmaceuticals. His take on Viibryd, and the issue of sexual dysfunction side effects in general, is worth a read.
The article about Viibryd and a few more of the newer meds is on the report website, entitled "Four 'New' Antidepressants".

http://carlatpsychiatry.blogspot.com/One thing he points out is that the 5-HT reuptake
mechanism is very similar to what BusPar does.The GI side effects (nausea, diarrhea) were pretty significant in the study by the mfg, Forest Labs. They say that 23% of the subjects reported problems with diarrhea, and 28% with nausea. That's vs 5% and 9% respectively for the placebo group.
Anyone else have something to report on Viibryd?
