"was on this medication for 5-6 weeks. titrated up to 40mg, but this made my anxiety so bad (mostly physiological), that i went back down to 30mg. was only on 40mg for a few days. got my first brain zap, and accompanying psychosis with full blown auditory hallucinations. that&#039;s when i knew it was time to quit. viibryd isn&#039;t as bad at inhibiting sexual desire as other ssris, but it still does! for anxiety, this medication wasn&#039;t helpful- but i did notice myself in a more positive and upbeat mood (for what that&#039;s worth). after spending a total of 4-5 hours researching this drug, and hearing about what it&#039;s like if you forget to take your dose (even if you&#039;re an hour off)- i was scared straight. weaned myself off fast (5mg reduction per night)."
