"female, age 55. chronic dysthymia with episodes of major depression. have been on viibryd for about 4 weeks, ramping up from 10 to 40 mg, as i ramped off zoloft. i also take wellbutrin, ativan, and ritalin (for fatigue).  i have been a type i diabetic for over 35 years.

i had side effects when i began taking viibryd.  nausea (no vomiting), more frequent stools, fatigue and severe cognitive fuzz-out and difficulty with short-term memory.

anyone else have chills with this med?  about 30 minutes after dosing, i typically get very shivery.  the affect does not last long and is not severe, but it is very weird!

dr. told me to try taking 1/2 dose of viibryd at bedtime or with evening meal, but this did not work because it made me wide awake."
