Boo Viibryd!

Keep at it, you'll find the right treatment.
eep! i'm glad i decided to stop! the nausea was bad enough on 10mg. i did take the second dose and it was bad too. still a bit sick this morning but it's wearing off.

no way in hell am i going to 20mg!

Lol I don't blame you! I started at 5mg for a week then upped to 10mg the next week. Worst experience on an AD actually.

Have you tried TMS? Not user if you have bipolar or not. I think TMS is only for unipolar depression. It's working for me so far and I'm just about done with week 4 of 6.

Oh that's too bad. TMS is so much less intrusive than ECT. I wish you luck either way. Hopefully another med will work for you. Maybe your insurance will come around as well. I know more and more are covering TMS these days. Keep us posted.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
