As stated, it should go away pretty quickly. Probiotics can help, but can also make you constipated, another side effect of Viibryd. Damned if you do something, damned if you don't do anything.
If things don't improve within a week, call your doctor's nurse and ask for some help.
Take with food, take with food, take with food. Nothing could be more important.
I am on 40mg and occasionally get diarrhea even now. It is kind of random and may depend on what I have eaten. I give it a 'who knows?' drink plenty of fluids and keep going.
Hang in there. It will get a lot better or you will get help from your doc. Either way improvement is just around the corner.

Take your vibryd in the morning with food. The diarrhea is a common side affect and should go away after your on the meds for about a week or so
Hello mograce1. Bit of good news is that the diarrhea does ease up and more often than not, ends altogether. To the diarrhea, an over the counter drug might help, my minds pulling up a blank, but there are several sold. If it comes to me, I'll add them in the form of a coment, to this answer. Best wishes,pledge
Good morning, Imodium comes to mind to me. Even Pepto Bismol would help. Those are the 2 I can think of. How's the coffee this morning Pledge? Hot & plentiful I'll bet!
Good morning Mary. Thanks for the help. Milk Of Magnesia just poped into memory. I'll make up a fresh pot, and I know you've brought donuts to go along with our cuppa. Still morning, all be it a bit late. So, have a great afternoon,pledge
