My doc is switching me from lexapro to Viibryd. Anyone have experience with Viibryd?

Yes! I have been on Viibryd since 2015 and have had pretty decent results with it. I am a poor/non-existent metabolizer of pretty much all SSRI and SNRIs, so the fact that Viibryd is a "little different" than those has been beneficial to me. NO drug has ever been a miracle drug for me and I have deep seated depression and PTSD (and a trauma that is relentlessly ongoing) but Viibryd does touch the surface for me. And when I don't take it? Things go bad quickly. To a point where I almost don't recognize myself. Side effects, for me, have been diarrhea and a shock-sensation in my brain if I miss even one dose. Other psych meds are Buspar, Topomax, Trazodone and Ambien. I take 40mg of Viibryd and my blood serotonin levels are still almost non measurable.
