Okay, now I know I'm officially depressed and a little paranoid. Probably from the Abilify discontinuation. Depressed but not anxious like the first time I discontinued it. Numbing can be a part of depression for me, so that might explain the emotional blunting. Probably Lamictal doesn't help in that regard.
So, can't get an appointment with pdoc for another two weeks, so tried Viibryd again today, stupidly just because it was there and I'm not exactly the patient type ;). Premedicated with Zofran and Immodium, so the GI effects are less but I'm having some other wacky side effects -- major clumsiness and vision problems. No heavy machinery for me ;).
BUT I feel remarkably better. Probably placebo. Probably because I read an article recently about how SSRIs have an immediate effect on the brain. Probably because I read it can have an antidepressant effect in a week. Probably just because I'm doing something to help the depression. Still, makes me wonder...stupidly?
And I wonder why no one here is taking Viibryd anymore. Doesn't work? Poop out (literally and figuratively)?
