If you are located in the United States Canada, Great Britain Click here If you are located in Europe Click here What is Viibryd Viibryd is a prescription medication used to treat depression and anxiety. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The medication takes some time to build up in the body, which is why it can take a few weeks before people begin noticing a reduction in symptoms of depression or anxiety. If you suddenly stop taking Viibryd, however, you may experience symptoms of withdrawal. In the United States this withdrawal is known as Viibryd Discontinuation Syndrome but in Europe is known as Viibryd Withdrawal. Antidepressants are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. Of the more than 60 million people who take them in a given month, about one quarter have been taking them for more than 10 years. Often, long- term use is linked to fear of relapse of their symptoms or withdrawal. We have found length of time taking Viibryd WILL NOT determine how easy or difficult it will be for you to accomplish a Viibryd withdrawal. People experience symptoms of Viibryd withdrawal because of the way SSRI's work in the brain. SSRIs affect the levels of serotonin, a type of mood-regulating neurotransmitter in the brain. When you abruptly stop taking your medication, it doesn't give the brain enough time to adjust to the sudden change. Whether you are stopping Viibryd because it is not working for you or you are better and you've decided with your doctor that it makes sense to come off your medication, the quitting process needs to be slow and gradual. Signs & Symptoms Recent research has found that the severity of SSRI withdrawal is much worse than previously believed. On average, about 46% of people experiencing SSRI withdrawal symptoms describe them as severe. Severe symptoms indicate that withdrawal can potentially interfere with your ability to meet responsibilities at home and at work. It was also found that 10% of the people attempting antidepressant withdrawal, 10% quit the Viibryd withdrawal due to a withdrawal side effect known as brain zaps. The Omega 3 Supreme used during Viibryd withdrawal is formulated to ease this severe withdrawal side effect. Most Common Symptoms The most common symptoms of Viibryd withdrawal—occurring in more than one in four people—are as follows: Dizziness Muscle tension Chills Confusion Trouble concentrating Trouble remembering things Crying The most common symptoms of Viibryd withdrawal are dizziness, muscle tension, and chills, which each affect about 44% of users. Many people also experience confusion and difficulty concentrating. Once again, the supplements have been formulated to help with these symptoms.

Antidepressants like Viibryd work by increasing serotonin levels in your brain. When you stop taking them, it takes your brain a while to get used to the drug’s absence.

It can start sooner (within hours) or later (more than a week). This is why most inpatient facilities fail with Viibryd withdrawal.

Taper Off Medication Slowly In 1999, our founder, Jim Harper, published a guideline for reducing medications. That guideline has been adapted to all psychoactive medications by the drug manufacturers. The most effective way to minimize symptoms of withdrawal is to slowly taper off your medication. “Reduce the medication slowly. If withdrawal symptoms begin go back up to the last dosage you were doing fine at, stay at that dosage until all withdrawal has subsided. When you continue with withdrawal reduce the medication slower than the previous reductions.” Viibryd should only be reduced by 10%. Some people will need to reduce the Viibryd by 5%. Reductions of the Viibryd can be made every 7 days or in some cases every 14 days. Slow and steady wins this race. Tapering involves adjusting your dose by a small amount, gradually decreasing until your body gets used to lower levels of the medication. Talk to your doctor who can then create a dose schedule and carefully monitor the process to avoid severe symptoms. Practice Good Self-Care Taking good care of your health as you stop taking Viibryd can also help you to better manage any withdrawal symptoms that you experience. Some steps you can take that might help you cope with withdrawal symptoms include: Do not change your diet when tapering. This can alter metabolism rater of the Viibryd and create a withdrawal symptom Follow your doctor's taping recommendations Get plenty of rest Get regular mild exercise Get support from family, friends, or support groups If you or someone you love shows any of the following signs or symptoms after stopping or during a Viibryd taper, get help: Becoming preoccupied with death, dying, or violence Engaging in risky or self-destructive activities, such as driving drunk Feeling hopeless or trapped Gathering the means to commit suicide, such as bullets or pills Getting affairs in order or giving away belongings Having intense mood swings Planning how you would commit suicide if you were going to do it Saying goodbye to people as if it were the last time Talking or thinking about suicide more than normal, for example, “I wish I were dead” 1.
