Does Viibryd Affect Sex Drive In A Person?
I take Hydroxyzine Pam, Lorazepam and Viibryd for anxiety and depression. I want to stop taking Viibryd because it has completely killed my sex drive, I d rather be depressed. I would like to increase the dosage of the other two. I meet with my psychiatrist next Wednesday. My counselor says I am doing very good. I do suffer insomnia.

Hello,
Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) has side effects like Nausea, diarrhea, headache. However, as per current literature, Vilazodone exerts no significant effect on sexual functioning in healthy adults.
Hydroxyzine has interactions with CNS depressants like lorazepam i.e. CNS depressant effects may be increased.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
