- Apparent or reported sadness

3 TIPS TO HELP ENSURE YOU RECEIVE YOUR PRESCRIPTION FOR BRAND-NAME VIIBRYD.
If your doctor prefers for you to stay on branded Viibryd, here are 3 steps you can take to make sure you get branded Viibryd at the pharmacy:
Ask your doctor to note his or her preference by adding “dispense as written” (or your state’s legal language) to a brand-name Viibryd prescription.
Let your pharmacist or mail-order service know that your doctor prefers brand-name Viibryd. Remember, for commercially insured patients, the Viibryd Savings Card may help eligible patients save on their out-of-pocket costs.
Check your pill. Before leaving the pharmacy, or as soon as your prescription arrives, check the tablet to make sure it says “Viibryd” on it. Viibryd tablets are oval and come in red (10mg), orange (20mg) and light blue (40mg). If you don’t receive brand-name Viibryd, let your pharmacist know you want what your doctor prefers.
TAKING VIIBRYD
Take Viibryd exactly as prescribed. Your doctor may need to change the dose of Viibryd until it is the right dose for you.
Take Viibryd once daily with food as Viibryd may not work as well if taken on an empty stomach.
Try to take Viibryd at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
If you miss a dose of Viibryd, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take 2 doses of Viibryd at the same time.
Keep taking Viibryd as directed by your healthcare provider. Response to treatment may vary, so you may not feel the effect of Viibryd for several weeks. Do not stop taking Viibryd without speaking to your healthcare provider, even if you start feeling better.
Talk to your doctor before you stop taking Viibryd. If you have questions about side effects, he or she may have helpful information. Stopping Viibryd suddenly may cause serious symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, high or low mood, feeling restless or sleepy, headache, sweating, nausea, dizziness, tremor, electric shock-like sensations, and confusion.
