> been on viibryd 1 week 10 mg ...starter pack..going to 20 mg for a week...seems stimulating ..will it wear off..from any one's experiences
Hi Joe,
I did about six months of Viibryd and never got much stimulation from it. It seemed to keep me fairly even emotionally but at such a low level that after a few months of it I was ready to try something else again (after already having done several ssri/snri/other things). I did have weight gain from it that gradually started coming off after I stopped taking it, but I'm also mostly sedentary so that may not be as much of an issue for someone who is more active.
I was very skeptical when I was on it about the "one dose fits all" suggestion of the 40mg daily for everyone, and have read elsewhere that some people do better at lower doses. If you're getting a good result from a lower dose I would definitely make a note of that for yourself because you may need less than the 40 mg.
Best of luck,
Cat
