| What can you tell me about it? I'm doing very well on Dexedrine and Celexa. I started feeling better around the 3rd days dosage. On Viibryd, you start the first week at 10 mg, the next week at 20 mg (you also stop taking your current anti-depressant at this point also) and on the 3rd week is at 40 ... |

| I just got put on a new anti-depressant called Viibryd, it's only been out for a few months. This medication is amazing. It starts working in the first week and has brought me out of a severe depressive state within 2 weeks. I also noticed that I want to do more things, even going outside and I've b... |

| I've gotten so used to pretending that everything is always alright with me. I'm always smiling and laughing and pretending that I'm not in pain or depressed or anything, that it's actually become an ingrained habit. I call it my "public persona". I've been working with my therapist for 4 years off ... |

| I really need help dealing with my agoraphobia. I wanted to continue to contribute to society after I lost my job and so I began volunteering as a leader of a workshop for self management for people with chronic illnesses. I think leading the workshops are causing panic attacks. At what point do you... |

| I'm glad it's working for you. It worked on my depression, but I had severe homicidal urges while I was on it, so I had to change. I'm not sure which med I tried next, I've been through almost all of the anti-depressants, but I don't have a good memory for what I took and when I took it. |
