Viibryd timing

I'm thinking of switching from Cymbalta to Viibryd and wondering about the Viibrd side-effects. I've read in a few places that the dosage timing needs to be very exact (same time each day) or else people get "electric zaps in the brain." This would be hard for me as my mealtimes are not the same every day. I am wondering if anyone here can report either an okay experience with changing dose timing or missing doses, or on the other hand having these "electric zaps."

I had taken Viibryd for about two months and I really liked it. It kept me energized and in a very pleasant mood. But I can tell you those electric zaps are a real pain. The first time I had one, I was laying on my couch as my two year old played beside me. It felt like someone punched or hit me in the nose . I seen a bright white flash and my head tingled! I asked my husband if she had hit me with something and he said she did not. It happened several times. I do not remember how often, like in a day or week. But they come with no warning and linger after. I was upset to change from it (my insurance didn't want to cover me on it or something) because it worked for me. But, I guess I'd rather search for something nearly as good than have that sensation and whatever they may cause.

And I want to add that'd it'd be an after an hour if I missed the medication or feel the zap.

My pdoc just prescribed viibryd on Friday. I haven't picked up the meds yet (partially because the pharmacy doesn't keep it in stock so they had to order). I am very nervous about taking it after reading the side effects. I am very sensitive to medications and have many side effects. She thinks we should stay at the low dose for a month and then decide if we should up the dosage. When you say you had the zapping feeling after about 1 hour of missed dosage. Would it wake you up if this were the case? I wake up much earlier during the week than the weekend. What type of side effects did you have? did you have to eat a big meal with it??

I talked with my pdoc today about Viibryd and he said it was very unusual to get brain zaps after only a few hours of missed dosage. With most people it takes an entire day of a missed dose. He also said that the nausea was the most common side-effect but for most people is mild and goes away with continued use. I haven't started it yet, still working with another med that I'm on.
