I took Viibryd for about 1.5 months. I started in July and ended mid-August of this year. It was fine for a while, I'd say it was helping. And then about 2-3 weeks into taking the medicine, I started getting really awful, very intense dreams (nightmares!) and hallucinations. That was okay for a while, since I thought the drug was working. But then the zaps started. I had never experienced anything like it. It was terrifying. I thought I had a brain tumor or something! All of a sudden, my brain - my whole body, really - would zap. It happened a few times randomly out of nowhere, but then it started happening more and more. I was taking the medicine at night, so I switched to taking it in the morning - and it still happened. I saw my doctor and we decided it was the Viibryd. I know that brain zaps are common when going off of an antidepressant, but I had very real, very uncomfortable zaps while on Viibryd. I haven't had one since stopping. So, you are not alone!
