My pdoc in late July gave me a sample pack of Viibryd and a Rx. I took the first seven days of the 10mg tablets and took two days of the 20mg tablets and at that point I was feeling very unwell. I was in the hospital where my dad was in critical care and I was feeling very dizzy. I went to the emergency dept and my initial blood pressure was 159/109. They gave me a liter of saline and advised me to get more rest (not happening, see my other thread).

I asked the ED doc if I should stop the Viibryd and she said that was the decision of the prescribing doc. So being seven and a half hours away from home I made the decision to stop the med at least until I could return home and follow up with my pdoc. The dizziness subsided and I bought a BP cuff at the CVS near that hospital and my blood pressure is much improved.
