Mild Relief From Depression By Lexapro. Recommended Viibryd. Side Effects?
I HAVE BEEN ON LEXAPRO 60MG 1XDAY. IT HELPS ME BUT DOESN'T TAKE MY DEPRESSION COMPLETELY AWAY. I USED TO TAKE PROZAC 40 MG 1XA DAY, BUT MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON THE GENERIC PROZAC AND IT STOPPED WORKING FOR MY6 DEPRESSION. MY NBEW DOCTOR WANTS ME TO TRY VIIBRYD. I AM A LITTLE SKEPTACLE AFTER READING REPORTS ON WEB MD BY OTHER PATIENTS WHO HAVE TRIED IT AND HAD A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS.
Hi there, thanks for asking. Usually when a person's depression does not answer to two medications from a class of antidepression drugs (for you all the medications have been from the class of SSRI), it is recommended to try a medication from a different class. It should be investigated which symptom is disturbing you and you should be treated with a medication which improves that symptoms. For example, if your libido is not good, it is better to take a medication like bupropion, etc. I wish you find a good mood.
