What Causes Excessive Taliking Using Wrong Words After Taking Viibryd?
Question: I just started taking 10m of Viibryd after being on paxil 20 m. For over 10 years was having trouble with depression. I have only been taking the Viibryd for 10 days, not as depressed but talking a lot, in my sentences using wrong words starting to worry if this is a side effect, also not thinking quickly as I use to?
Brief Answer:
not a direct side effect of Viibryd as such
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Viibryd, as such, would not cause this 'talking a lot' kind of side effect. It can cause restlessness. But it does not have any side effects on the language or vocabulary of a person.
Also, it does not cause your other symptom of 'not thinking quickly', but it does cause more somnolence/ sleepiness that could hamper your thinking capacity.
Hence, although Viibryd may not directly cause these as side effects in you, it may be a possible side effect indirectly through other mechanisms.
You seem to be on the minimum starting dosage of Viibryd i.e. 10mg. Hence, these symptoms should subside soon as you get used to the new drug.
I would suggest you to wait and watch for at least 2 more weeks. These symptoms should be gone by them. Continue to take the medicine as prescribed.
Wish you good health.
