Is anyone one here taking lexapro and the new antidepressant Viibryd?

I mean I guess the Celexa are doing their job. I still hate my life but the pills make me not care. I mean god forbid the pharmacy screws up and I don't have them for a day. They make me feel like a junkie, it's obvious to me I'm...

I just started taking them a few days ago and im supposed to take them for 12 weeks to see if they help. They've been giving me bad headaches and making me feel really tired/sleepy and slow, not to mention feeling more suicidal than...

Is anyone on here taking Lexapro and the new Viibryd together?

Hello, I really have the need to share my story with someone who went through a similar experience and can listen and be supportive. No one in my family deals with anxiety thus luck of understanding in what I am going through. I've been...

Hello,
About 12 years ago I was mis prescribed and put on 4-6 times the dosage of Zolof.  Eventually i weened myself off that drug as I just did not feel 'right" the whole time I was on it.  I still perspire...

I starting taking antidepressants when I was 16. At age 16 I went blind from a car accident. This changed my life so quick I couldn't take it all in at once. I was sad all the time. My parents took me to a doctor and she put my on...

I've been taking Viibryd for about 9-months--it's the answer to my prayers and really hits the bulls eye for me. People ask me if I have a new boyfriend because I smile and find cause to laugh so much more, I'm even beginning to loose...

I have been on anti d's for the majority of the past 8 years. Managing major depressive disorder. I remain very physically active and maintain a vegetarian dietary regimen. If anyone has questions about possible effects, feel free to...

I have stopped for about a week. The withdrawal symptoms are as bad as I expected them to be, but they are taking longer than I expected them to wear off. I read it could take weeks. Wasn't quite expecting that, I was thinking more like...

I've been trying to avoid this for a little while, but I find myself constantly being redirected to the subject. This is something that will no doubt incite the wrath of many, and I am prepared for that. In fact, I welcome it on the...

Hello,
I had a depression episode 2008 which resulted in short hospitalisation and zoloft for about 18 months. I stopped early 2010 with little side effects.
In the last 3-4 weeks I have gotten into an anxiety spiral over a work issue...

I have taken antidepressants for a very long time, and I can thankfully say that they have worked for me the last few years. There are a lot of stories that are for the use and against the use of these drugs. For me, I found that the...

I've just started...I had to up the dose progressively and I'm up to a whole one per day.

I'm hoping that counselling will make it better, my doc told me I should see one and I plan to as soon as I can go to the free one at my new...

Might as well get the ball rolling huh?  Well, I'm 36 years old, and I've been on antidepressants since I was 16.  I can say with all honesty that the different medications I've been on over the years have saved my sanity, and...

I have been on many anti depressants, and now I am on citalopram. I have been on it for four days.

I started on antidepressants many years ago. The first was Paxil. I had some side effects I couldn't live with, I was switched to Zoloft. It's been good for me and I recommend it ,but after a while I started taking more. I think my body...
