"i have been on viibryd for two weeks now (20 mg) for generalized anxiety and moderate depression and i feel exceptionally better. i tapered off lexapro about 2 years ago and was off  anti depressants for the last couple of years. it was an emotional roller coaster every single day until i got on viibryd. i experience some symptoms like dizziness and nausea/diarrhea so i take it at night right before i go to sleep. i am a student athlete in college with an extremely busy schedule and this medicine has helped keep me motivated. the feelings of hopelessness and emptiness are almost completely gone and i feel like i can get through everyday without the constant negative thoughts i was having."
