"my new doctor put me on viibryd to help with my severe depression and anxiety 4 months ago. my previous doctor had tried many medications such as lexapro, celexa, and cymbalta...and to be quite frank every one of them was horrible! i gained 60lbs between them over a year, which only deepened my depression. i felt like i was insane with those medications and hated myself and everyone around me even more and began to feel like people were &quot;out to get me&quot;. all the while on those medications i had to take ativan and valium for my severe anxiety. since i&#039;ve been on viibryd i feel like a new person! i did not gain any weight and viibryd helps control my anxiety without the need for other medications! it&#039;s expensive but worth every penny!"
