My most recent depression started in May and I waited too long before starting back on AD. So far Celexa and Cymbalta have not worked. I'm now trying Viibryd and Lamictal. Today is my first day - wish me luck please. I can't stand this depression anymore, losing everything I care about as the years go by.

I've never heard of Viibryd. What's that for? Oh, and good luck!

Lamictal has been good at regulating my moods. Haven't heard of Viibryd. Good luck! And keep us posted.

Good luck. Viibryd made me very antsy and major restless legs but that's just me. I don't hear that side effect normally. Lamictal has been totally effective on keeping my moods stable. Let us know how this combo goes for you. ESP the lamictal. Always looking for opinions on that one.

Lamactil worked for my depression but it does take a while to reach the appropriate dose. Wishing you good luck !!!

Black pup when do you know you've reached the right dose? I always question how we are supposed to really know. Just drs observation? What should I notice? Is this dumb to ask?
