Switching to viibryd and getting off of zoloft for aniexty and depression?

I am on Viibryd I was put on it wen I quit taking all my meds BIG NO NO! as soon as he put me on 40 mg Viibryd I noticed a diff in days I was so pleased! I also take many other meds for other psych problems as well but the viibryd really helped wit the depression and mood leveling.I've been taking antidepressants for 30 some yrs an they usually take 3 to 6 damn wks to work but not the viibryd!! I hope this helps u and get to feeling better! I'm a first timer hope I followed the guide lines! Thnx

I went to Viibyrd which caused me more intense nightmares than I already have from PTSD. I read online on another group where alot of people said the nightmares were terrors so bad they had to get off the medication. I did end up stopping the medication. I've switched pills numerous times and rarely had issues in between stopping and starting. I think only 2 different meds when stopped gave me nausea. I see this post is from April , so hopefully things are a bit better by now for you. It is frustrating switching meds. I've been thru alot of that myself. Take Care.

I went through a very similar switch. I had been on Zoloft for over a year, didn't feel like it was doing anything for me, and switched to Viibryd. The transition SUCKED (upset stomach, increased anxiety, overall feeling of "this isn't working!") but after being on the full dose of Viibryd for about a month I can see a huge difference.

When I was going through the transition I didn't think I was going on stay on the Viibryd, but after getting the Zoloft out of my system and getting used to the Viibry my anxiety is basically gone, and I have way more energy that I ever had when I was on Zoloft. I feel like a normal person again instead of a zombie. Hopefully you'll adjust quickly to the transition! Good luck!

Can I ask you how long were you on Zoloft? In addition, how long have you been taking Viibryd? My mother recently was pulled off here celexa and put on viibryd which didn't help her anxiety at all so they put her back on celexa. I think because Viibryd is a very new med to the market psychiatrists seem to eager to put there patients on this med. I ask how long you have been taking Viibryd because like most meds this can take 2-4 wks. to really feel the benefits.
