When I was not getting enough relief on the 40 mg we slowly went up to 60 and then 80 mg.
I have very difficult to treat depression. The 80 mg is not allowing me complete remission, just about 50%. This refractory depression along with my atypical depressive symptoms is why my doctor suggested the augmentation with Cytomel.
Cytomel is definitely doing more than the Viibryd alone. I do have more GI issues on the 80 mg of Viibryd than on the 40. I also have a lower libido on the 80 mg than on the 40.
