I was just given a trial of this medication by my doctor because my Zoloft, which I’ve been on for about 4 years has started losing its effectiveness at treating anxiety. He started me on 10mg for the first week, 20 mg for the second and third, and 40 afterward. 

I took my first 10 mg yesterday, and experienced that night what I could describe as a “dirty” feeling from it. My jaw was clenching tighter than usual, I was experiencing some lethargy, and I had trouble swallowing, almost as if there was water in my throat. No distinguishable nausea yet, but the side effects weren’t particularly pleasant. 

For those of you who’ve tried this medication or are currently taking it, did you experience unpleasant side effects during the trial run? Did they eventually go away? Whats your overall take on Viibryd in treating anxiety and/or depression?
