"this medication simply saved my life.  addiction took me down a dangerous path - hiding bottles, attempting to obtain more prescription pain killers, doing it all at night to hide from wife/kids...long dark road for sure.   30 days intensive recovery in a facility, away from everyone just for me, aa meeting and my doctor put me on anti-depressants that just made me groggy, disoriented and volatile at times.   changed a few times till we hit viibryd.  absolutely amazing from the first few days. 40mg and sometimes a tad more when the waves of irrationality come.  mostly even sailing.  life is enjoyable, work is productive and i am totally plugged back into everyone&#039;s life at home.  no issues with side effects at all."
