"after taking viibryd for almost three months i can say that i feel better, my depression isn&#039;t as bad. it is a little better, but i feel like it could be even better. i don&#039;t know if i should talk to my doctor about it. i take 40 mg a day which i believe is the highest recommended dose. i have chronic pain (and surgery) issues and i am scared of taking a supplementary medication because of side effects. i can say that i have experienced no side effects. i take mine in the morning and am perfectly able to take it with or without food. viibryd has definitely helped me, but i think i need some more help."
