I am tired too. I am only on day 5 and I can feel it. You're suppose to reach your peak at 8 weeks. I would give it sometime. Medicine affects people differently.
 
It is okay Christy. The thing that sucks about these medications is they act differently on everyone. Sometimes it takes others longer to get the effects. Just cry and let it out. Viibryd is suppose to be the big buzz. Maybe you just need a higher dose are you on the 40mg now?
 
It didn't work for me, but a lot of drugs haven't. Here is a site that I found helpful when checking out medicine: Link Removed Hope it helps you.
 
I am still having stomach issues a week into the medicine. Just went up to 20mg. When does the stomach issues go away?
 
Can you take it before you go to bed? I know when I've taken medicine that has done that that is what was recommended to me to do by my doctor.
 
Well, it didn't work out for me. At first the digestive issues would ease up a few days later, but not after going to 40mg. I thought I was staying hydrated enough, but I got headaches and muscle cramps in my legs from my electrolyte levels being off. No biggie- fixed that with sports drink and that coconut water stuff (get the flavored kind- it's much less yucky!) If it were helping I'd have given it more of a try, but that's not the medication for me. No matter when I took it I had trouble with sleeping. Hope it works out better for you- it sounded like a great medicine.
 
I just started this on Saturday- I am on a month long trial where it goes up from 10mg to 40mg. I finished the last 10 this morning so tomorrow I start in on the 20's. I don't really know if I've noticed much difference. Prior to this I had been on Effexor for about a month and I had some really bad side effects from that, so my Dr said that I should try this.

I've noticed the stomach irritation a lot when I wake up in the morning. But there's some situational stuff going on right now (bad days at work, et. al) that have prevented me from really understanding what is just "me" and/or what is a side effect of this Same goes for feeling like I am going to cry all of the time. Not sure if that's just how it's going to be for a while, or if it's been side effects of medications.
