Viibryd Tips from Pharmacists

  • Take Viibryd with food. Taking this medicine on an empty stomach can lead to reduced absorption of the drug, making it less effective.

  • Continue Viibryd therapy even if you don’t notice an improvement in your depressive symptoms immediately. It can take several weeks for this medicine to have its full effect.

  • Viibryd can cause drowsiness and dizziness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.

  • Do not stop Viibryd suddenly. This can lead to unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will tell you how to gradually reduce the dose.

  • Seek medical attention immediately if you notice any unusual changes in mood or behavior or have thoughts of harming yourself.
