"after having poor results with several antidepressants, i started viibryd. i only need 5-10 mg to feel a profound result. i eat really clean and exercise every day, so that may be part of why i need less. my doctor actually became emotional when he said he thought this was the right drug. i was suicidal and getting up in the morning was a monumental task. i couldn&#039;t focus on my family and social anxiety was high. i prayed that my body could adjust and it has. when i occasionally up my dose i have severe diarrhea but i just take an otc to treat it. insomnia was a problem at first but no longer is. i don&#039;t feel totally like myself, a little drugged, and my short term memory is very challenged. but it&#039;s worth it. i can function fully now."
