"i started using this medication 11 days ago. i started taking the medication because my depression was beginning to worsen. i had been off medicines for a while but just reached a point where i would benefit from them again. in the past i used celexa, lexapro, and paxil. the sexual side effects of those medicines were intolerable. the viibryd awakened me from what felt like a walking sleep. i am more outgoing, social, and have a desire to the things that i stopped doing during my decline. the main side effect has been diarrhea."
