My Dr just put me on this new antideppressant. Anyone ever tried it? I've used most all of the Antideppressants and have resorted to using the newer ones only as I have tried most all the old ones through the years. My dr diagnosed me as Manic since I quit my Prozac cold turkey - mistake I know. This one is expensive but I'm willing to pay if it works. Likely going to have to take a leave from work since my symptoms are so bad. That's better than the psych ward again. My dr also prescribed me the strongest strength Val 2x a day. Wow? I'd be passed out on the floor if I took 2 of those a day! Lol that's how messed up I am I guess. Any thoughts on this new med would be most appreciated. I was wanting one that would not make me gain weight or kill my sex drive - tall order for an antidepressant.

I'm more than interested in your personal experience with this drug. Please keep me up2date as it promises NOT to gain weight and NOT to kill any sexual drive.
As this Drug was going through many many hands before receiving the authorization from the FDA I'm personally very sceptical, but I'd love to learn.

For an adtidepressant its capabilitities look pretty good

 
Will do @Julimond. My dr gave me 2 trial/starter packs to see if it works for me before I pay the big bucks to have it filled. I have 7 more weeks before I need to get it filled. 2 weeks at 10 mg, 2 weeks at 20mg etc... We'll see what works. I'm on Day 5 on 10 mg and so far just feeling the gastrointestinal normal problems with a new Antidepressant. That's normal so I'm not worried. I'm on such a low dose I don't feel much else and on so much Val I'm pretty oblivious anyway. Plus on pain pills for my back so I'm a hot ass mess. But I will know by maybe 6 weeks if this one is going to work for me or not. My Dr said she has had only 1 patient out of many say he had sexual side effects - premature ejaculation. Um yeah - I'm not worried about that since I'm a girl. She said it really did not seem to cause sexual side effects. She also said it was the closest to Prozac minus the sex drive killer. Says it will not make me gain weight either. Prozac did help me loose weight but killed my sex drive. So I kicked that one cold turkey and went manic aka apeshit as a result. Lol - I have high hopes for Viibryd. 

 
Good, please keep us all informed.
Not often there's a chance to see how new products work

 
Yes, I too am interested in this, I'll do a bit of research. I am on mirtazipine currently, which I found worked best after going through multiple ssri's in the past.

 
Quick update: I'm on the 10mg starter dose and I am taking it with Wellbutrin but what I have noticed is this medicine has greatly reduced my appetite and cravings for sweets. I like this - a lot and think it's a huge plus. I crave sweets on the Opiates I take and this med seems to cancel that out. I hope this appetite reduction sticks around. I'm not nauseous either.

I have not noticed much in the alleviation of depression symptoms yet but may be too early for that still. I'm excited and looking forward to what this new med can do for me.

Do you know when it starts to take effect? Like 4-6 weeks for ssri's? 

 
I would expect 4-6 weeks yes, but my Dr said could be as early as 2 weeks to start working. Issue is I'm slowly ticking up my dose to find the right fit with my starter packs. So 2 weeks at 10mg, 2 weeks at 20mg then a week at each higher dose till I find the right dose. I have a feeling that the 10 or 20mg will not be my end result constant dose - too low. But I'm good starting slow and building my way up to the higher doses. I am very encouraged about it thus far.

i think coupled with the Wellbutrin it really zaps your appetite. This is the first time I have not craved sweets in ages - thanks to opiates. 

 
As long as you are still eating as normally as you can, lunch  dinner etc that sounds encouraging!

 
Update: after roughly 2 weeks on the 10mg (lowest dose of Viibryd) it was time to move up to the 20 mg tablets today. I will take these for roughly 2 weeks again then decide if I need to go to the highest dose - 40mg from my starter pack from my Dr. 

I am really liking this new pill. It's only been a couple weeks and I do think I def need a higher dose than 10mg, but I'm building slowly on purpose. Zaps appetite, no weight gain, some tummy issues (especially today - when you up the dose) but nothing I cannot handle or totally unusual. Depression has slightly improved, which is great for low dose at 2 weeks. I don't have constant suicidal thoughts anymore, I'm not sad all the time but still have a ways to go. It's def better than before I was taking it. I feel more stable. My sex drive is still there, it's not dead - wow!

im very happy with this pill and in time will decide whether I remain on the 20mg or 40mg. Barring something disastrous happens, I'm happy to pay the outrageous amount of money this pill is going to cost me at the Pharmacy (that's with insurance)! In the end, I realize my life is worth more than dollars. This is a big leap for me from weeks ago when I just prayed to die every night and was disappointed when I woke up. I fucking hate depression. 

 
I'm pleased to hear you are progressing well Broadway! I'ts tough enough finding an anti depressant that does its job without going through many different ones. I'd love to hear more updates as and when. It's great YOU can see the progress you have made also, and pretty quickly, even if its only a few steps in the right direction. Keep it up, and I really wish you success in the long run here. I hate depression too!!!!!!!

 
Update on the upped dose of 20mg. Been on this medium dose for approx a couple weeks. Helps SO much with the depression, I don't mind being alive now. Huge change from weeks prior. That is amazing to me and encouraging. The one big issue (I can deal with the gastrointestinal issues fine) is another worse side effect that has gotten bad as I've slowly upped the dose is short term memory loss. It's common but mine is bad. I routinely walk into a room and forget why I am there and how I got there. I don't remember doing or saying lots of things. Plus, this ones difficult to explain but I feel like I'm here but in a fog. Lots of confusion. Like I'm not really here in the real world. Very strange feeling - out of body almost. I'm going to try taking this medium dose with food and see if it helps the neurological issues. I'm extremely reluctant to stop taking this antidepressant because it pulled me out of so much darkness - no easy feat. I know I cannot take the highest dose of 40mg so I won't even bother trying but I will try to stay at 20 mg with food and hope it improves the brain fog, confusion and memory loss. If not, I can go back to the low dose of 10 mg. 

Hoping to make the 20mg work because it has been a miracle for my depression. We're getting there slowly but surely. Disappointing that I cannot make it to the 40mg but I'm sure as time marches on and my body gets used to this drug I can have the option to go up.

  3. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  5. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  8. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  17. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  18. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  19. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  20. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
