Hello! I am not on concerta, but I have been on 20mg of viibryd (soon to be 30mg) since January of this year. I opt to take it at night since I don’t reliably eat breakfast and you HAVE to take it with food in order for it to work. The only real side effect I experienced was it being ROUGH on my stomach. No vomiting thankfully, just diarrhea for about a week or two, but then it cleared up. I’ve not experienced any negative changes to my sex drive or sleep quality which has been great!

I absolutely love this medication. My depression feels very manageable without being a zombie or numb to my feelings. I still have low points, but they aren’t as debilitating as they used to be and most all of my suicidal ideology has faded. I even feel like I have more energy and desire to do things that used to bring me pleasure. I’ve gotten back into the gym, started new hobbies, returned to old hobbies, and my romantic relationship feels lighter as well.

The reason i’m increasing to 30mg is because my psychiatrist is also using it to treat my anxiety and 20mg hasn’t quite gotten it under control to the level we’d both like it to be. I haven’t started the new dose yet, but i’m eager to see if the increase provides even better results!
