"i have been unable to take antidepressants due their side effects. i had pretty much given up trying to feel &quot;normal&quot;. i saw a new dr. and she gave me viibryd samples. 
i have little to no side effects except for occasional diarrhea. for the first time in a really long time, i feel good. i don&#039;t feel like a zombie, and i am able to get up and live. 
i do take the medication earlier in the day because it can cause me to keep me awake. 3pm seems to work out well. i haven&#039;t gained weight on it, but i tend to bloat more if i eat poorly. i just wish i didn&#039;t have to go broke to function well."
