Do you have any side effects from Viibryd so far? My Pdoc is saying Viibryd isn't supposed to have weight gain. Lets hope so!! 
He also mentioned topamax but I dont ever read anything good abt it. I can't take lamictal or trilyptal because they made me get acne. I swear I get every side effect and I'm a freak abt my skin & weight & hair. Def got MAJOR self image issues due to my BPD. So no drug is worth compromising my appearance in any way. :-/
So I think my Pdoc is running out of drug options with me. |
Honestly, I don't like the Viibryd, but I'm taking it in combination with Adderall and I really don't like the side effects! Increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, the muscles in my jaw tense up a little. On the plus, my appetite dropped and I'm happy... but I'm stopping the Viibryd due to the interaction. Definitely doesn't cause weight gain though.
I took Topamax too and it leveled me out really well, but made me dumb as a door-nail. Good luck with whatever you choose.
