"i have taken many antidepressants over the past 20 years (lexapro, effexor, wellbutrin, remeron) and viibryd is the best i have taken.  i loved lexapro and took it for 15 years before it finally lost its effectiveness and i didn&#039;t think i&#039;d find anything better, but viibryd is as good as lexapro for me without the negative side sexual effects.  

the one caveat is that unlike the previous ssri&#039;s i have to take viibryd in the morning rather than at night or i get terrible insomnia.  with my dose in the morning i now have literally no noticible side effects and my mood, motivation, and motivation for things are all elevated.

like any antidepressant there are negative side effects the first 2-4 weeks but those go away so hang in there!"
