So far this feels very much like a straight Celexa withdrawal. Fatigue, can't get a full night's sleep, and lot of napping or attempted napping. When I stand up or move around (or look around) I get dizzy.
Had an episode last night of feeling hot, sweating and a racing heartrate/fast pulse for about an hour. Both are symptoms of serotonin syndrome, but fortunately they went away.
I'm curious what Viibryd feels like to someone starting it "clean." For most people I suspect it will be like it is for me: as much about stopping the previous antidepressant as it is about starting Viibryd.
I bought some more dark chocolate because it actually tastes pretty good, unlike a week ago. I am using it as a taste test, since I am curious whether my perception of bitterness will increase as the Viibryd dose goes up the way it increased while on Celexa.
