Hey, Joe.

Thanks for sharing your experience and insight. It really helps.

> I have noticed with Viibryd that there seems to be an unusually long series of side effect periods at each dosage. For example after going from 10 to 20 I might have loose stools for a week, then tiredness for a week, then dizziness for two weeks, etc. It seemed to take a VERY long time to figure out what a dose really would feel like in the long run, as it took weeks and weeks to "shake out" the side effects, which often manifested in a series one at a time instead of all at once. Very strange.

> The social-anxiety-inducing effects seem to have finally calmed down for me at 20 mg. I underwent the ultimate stress test for me (a job interview) and, thanks to clonazepam, had no difficulty despite some anxiety problems in the past with Viibryd. I was at 40 for awhile (months I think) but it still felt "trippy" and activating so I think I am better off at 20. At 40 mg I don't even like going shopping in a store.
