"i&#039;ve been on viibryd 20mg for about 2 weeks. the side effects were rough at first, to the point i wanted to quit. there&#039;s no major markers to show that my depression is lifted, but i&#039;m not sad all the time anymore. the big change for me, is not that i have extra energy, but i don&#039;t feel like i&#039;m being weighed down. i have patience with my 2 yr old. if the effects peak at 8 weeks, i can&#039;t wait. i&#039;m very happy."
