"at first, between the spontaneous nausea, diarrhea, and brain zaps, i thought i couldn&#039;t handle it.  i have been on every ssri known to science including cymbalta.  the side effects of viibryd were so bad when i went to 20mg so i ask my doctor if we could just go back to the 10mg for a couple more weeks.  2 days after that decision, things really cleared up.  the nausea softened and imodium ad took care of the diarrhea.  suddenly, i felt so much better and my libido came roaring back.  i haven&#039;t felt this good in many many years.  but, i had to go through hell to get to this point. this is not your usual medication. it takes perseverance, dedication and a lot of patience. plan to spend 2, 3 or 4 months to adapt- but it&#039;s worth it."
