Viibryd

Viibryd is a medication primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). It works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with depression. Viibryd is known for its dual mechanism of action, combining selective serotonin reuptake inhibition with partial agonism at the 5-HT1A receptor, which may contribute to its antidepressant effects.

Benefits

• Helps alleviate symptoms of major depressive disorder.
• May improve mood, sleep, appetite, and energy levels.
• Can help restore interest in daily living activities.

How to Use

Viibryd should be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily with food to enhance absorption. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to discontinue use abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Possible Side Effects

• Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, and trouble sleeping.
• Less common side effects can include changes in weight, decreased libido, and dry mouth.
• Serious side effects are rare but can include serotonin syndrome, especially when taken with other serotonergic drugs.

Warnings and Precautions

• Viibryd is not recommended for use in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to vilazodone or any of its components.
• Patients should be monitored for worsening depression or suicidal thoughts, especially when starting the medication or adjusting the dose.
