All FDA black box warnings are at the end of this fact sheet. Please review before taking this medication.

What Is Vilazodone And What Does It Treat?

Vilazodone is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).

Symptoms of depression include:

  • Depressed mood - feeling sad, empty, or tearful
  • Feeling worthless, guilty, hopeless, and helpless
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in your usual activities
  • Sleep and eat more or less than usual (for most people it is less)
  • Low energy, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death (suicidal thinking)
  • Psychomotor agitation (‘nervous energy’)
  • Psychomotor retardation (feeling like you are moving and thinking in slow motion)
  • Suicidal thoughts or behaviors


What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Vilazodone?

Do not stop taking vilazodone, even when you feel better. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine.

Missing doses of vilazodone may increase your risk for relapse in your symptoms.

Stopping vilazodone abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, feeling dizzy, vomiting, nightmares, headache, and/or paresthesias (prickling, tingling sensation on the skin).

Depression is also a part of bipolar illness. People with bipolar disorder who take antidepressants may be at risk for "switching" from depression into mania. Symptoms of mania include "high" or irritable mood, very high self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, pressure to keep talking, racing thoughts, being easily distracted, frequently involved in activities with a large risk for bad consequences (for example, excessive buying sprees).

Medical attention should be sought if serotonin syndrome is suspected. Please refer to serious side effects for signs/symptoms.

Are There Specific Concerns About Vilazodone And Pregnancy?

If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your health care provider to best manage your medications. People living with MDD who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. Untreated MDD has risks to the fetus, as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers.

Caution is advised with breastfeeding since vilazodone does pass into breast milk.

What Should I Discuss With My Health Care Provider Before Taking Vilazodone?

  • Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most
  • If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself
  • Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects
  • If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication.
  • Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have, including a history of bipolar disorder
  • All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have
  • Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication.
  • If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
  • If you drink alcohol or use drugs


How Should I Take Vilazodone?

Vilazodone is usually taken one time per day with food or milk.

Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks.

The dose usually ranges from 20 mg to 40 mg. Only your health care provider can determine the correct dose for you.

Consider using a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member or friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication.

What Happens If I Miss A Dose Of Vilazodone?

If you miss a dose of vilazodone, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your health care provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed.

What Should I Avoid While Taking Vilazodone?

Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking antidepressant medications. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication.

What Happens If I Overdose With Vilazodone?

If an overdose occurs, call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.

A specific treatment to reverse the effects of vilazodone does not exist.

What Are The Possible Side Effects Of Vilazodone?

Common side effects

Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, insomnia


Rare/serious side effects

Night sweats, decreased appetite, migraine headaches, sleepiness, tremor, blurry vision, dry eyes, abnormal dreams, agitation, restlessness, increased urination, sexual dysfunction, angle closure glaucoma (symptoms of angle closure glaucoma may include eye pain, changes in vision, swelling or redness in or around eye), Serotonin syndrome (symptoms may include shivering, diarrhea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, seizures, and death), palpitations, irregular heartbeat

Vilazodone may increase the risk of bleeding events. Combined use of aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen), warfarin, and other anti-coagulants may increase this risk. This may include gums that bleed more easily, nose bleed, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Some cases have been life threatening.

Are There Any Risks For Taking Vilazodone For Long Periods Of Time?

To date, there are no known problems associated with long term use of vilazodone. It is a safe and effective medication when used as directed.

What Other Medications May Interact With Vilazodone?

Vilazodone should not be taken with or within 2 weeks of taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These include phenelzine (Nardil®), tranylcypromine (Parnate®), isocarboxazid (Marplan®), rasagiline (Azalect®) and selegiline (Emsam®).

Although rare, there is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome when vilazodone is used with other medications that increase serotonin, such as other antidepressants, migraine medications called “triptans” (e. g., Imitrex®), some pain medications (e.g., tramadol (Ultram®), and the antibiotic linezolid (Zyvox®).

The following medications may increase the levels and effects of vilazodone requiring decreased dose of vilazodone:

  • Antibiotics, such as clarithromycin (Biaxin®), erythromycin (Ery-Tab®), and telithromycin (Ketek®)
  • Antifungals, such as fluconazole (Diflucan®), ketoconazole (Nizoral®), and itraconazole (Sporanox®)
  • Blood pressure medications, such as verapamil (Calan®, Covera-HS®, Isoptin SR®) and diltiazem (Cardizem®, Tiazac®)
  • HIV medications such as protease inhibitors: indinavir (Crixivan®), ritonavir (Norvir®), saquinavir (Fortovase®, Invirase®), and lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra®)
  • Nefazodone

The following medications may decrease the levels and effects of vilazodone requiring increased dose of vilazodone: carbamazepine (Tegretol®), oxcarbazepine (Trileptal®), rifampin (Rifadin®), phenytoin (Dilantin®), and phenobarbital

How Long Does It Take For Vilazodone To Work?

Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.

Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings

Suicidal thoughts or actions in children and adults

Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), both adult and pediatric, may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior (suicidality) or unusual changes in behavior, whether or not they are taking antidepressant medications. This risk may persist until significant remission occurs.

risk may persist until significant remission occurs.
In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidality in children, adolescents, and young adults when compared to placebo. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24. Adults age 65 and older taking antidepressants have a decreased risk of suicidality. Patients, their families, and caregivers should be alert to the emergence of anxiety, restlessness, irritability, aggressiveness and insomnia. If these symptoms emerge, they should be reported to the patient’s prescriber or health care professional. All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should watch for and notify their health care provider for worsening symptoms, suicidality and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment.

A prescription of Viibryd may not have provided the relief you were seeking and perhaps now is the time to consider Viibryd withdrawal as a positive step along the journey to natural mental health. It is possible to transition to natural alternative treatments without the harsh side effects common to all SSRIs.

We do not doubt that your suffering is real. But we doubt that you have been correctly treated if you are still suffering. We’ve been there too, and we have a comprehensive non-toxic toolbox to share with you.


Do Your Symptoms Require Viibryd?

We are here to help you reach your mental wellness goals.

Viibryd Withdrawal

Viibryd withdrawal symptoms are common to all antidepressants according to research documents spanning from at least 1959, and continuing on to the present.5-7 Back in the 50s doctors and researchers (and pharmaceutical companies) were looking for something better than electroconvulsive therapy, or even better than nothing. In fact, most drug trials today are still looking for something that is better than nothing (placebo-controlled). Much debate has developed over the decades as to whether the promise of relief to patients has really ever been fulfilled with drug-based therapy. Each new drug was supposed to surpass the last. Perhaps it is time to drop some of the false promises of the past and look forward to real relief through the use of holistic approaches to improved mental wellness. And, with holistic and effective remedies to support Viibryd withdrawal, one can discard the liability of a lifetime of antidepressant side effects and lack of efficacy.

Below you will find some information we hope you will find useful on Viibryd withdrawal including common and more rare adverse Viibryd withdrawal symptoms, strategies to overcome these, and information on how natural and holistic treatments are used at Alternative to Meds Center for a safe and gentle Viibryd withdrawal experience, and recovery of mental wellness without drugs.

Common Viibryd Withdrawal Symptoms

SPECIAL NOTE RE PREGNANCY:  Viibryd is not recommended during late pregnancy due to potential withdrawals in the newborn, as well as heart complications in the infant.1

The most common symptoms of Viibryd withdrawal may resemble those of other SSRIs and involve both physical and psychological symptoms.2,3

Symptoms of Viibryd withdrawal may include:
  • Emotional lability:  sudden changes in mood, worsening mood, dysphoric mood, crying spells
  • Irritability, agitation, anxiety, nervousness
  • Flu-like symptoms:  headaches, muscle pain, shivers, fatigue, weakness, excessive sweating
  • Insomnia, nightmares, unusual or vivid dreams
  • Vertigo, dizziness
  • Tremors, involuntary jerking motions, ataxia (unsteady or uncoordinated walking)
  • Brain zaps or feeling of electric shocks in the head or neck
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Constipation, diarrhea
  • Paresthesia:  burning or prickling skin sensation
  • Sensory or visual disturbances, blurred vision
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Itching
  • Altered taste
  • Tinnitus
  • Confusion, disorientation
Severe and Rare Viibryd Withdrawal Symptoms
1,4,8-15,20

Though relatively rare, there have been severe and even life-threatening reactions to Viibryd withdrawal, especially where the dosage was dropped too quickly or upon abrupt cessation, and where other health conditions were present and untreated. It should be noted that some adverse drug reactions associated with SSRIs may persist after drug discontinuation. Reported rare and severe withdrawal reactions have included the following:

  • Suicide, suicidal thinking
  • Seizures
  • Psychosis, delirium
  • Visual and auditory hallucinations
  • Mania (severe, lasts at least 7 days) and hypomania (less severe, lasts up to 4 days)

It should be well-noted that published research studies on Viibryd withdrawal are near to non-existent. Studies on other SSRI withdrawal phenomena are much more prevalent and should be considered for the full breadth of the subject. There could be other adverse discontinuation symptoms besides the ones listed above.

Viibryd Half-life and Withdrawal Timeline

The half-life of a medication is how long it takes for the concentration in the system to decrease by half. Viibryd has a half-life estimated at about 25 hours. This may vary from person to person because of individual rates of metabolism, age, and other health considerations. The half-life is typically when withdrawals may begin to manifest, anywhere from a day to several days after the last dose in this case. The medical consensus is that instead of abruptly stopping, decreasing the dose gradually is a recommended strategy to help reduce harsh Viibryd withdrawals.

There can be no fixed timeline for successfully coming off Viibryd because each individual can have unique responses after lowering the dose. With proper support, preparation, and medical monitoring, the timeline for comfortable Viibryd withdrawal is expected to be 8 weeks but could extend up to one year, depending on the individual factors as noted above.13,18 Clinical research advises that lowering the dose during antidepressant withdrawal should be not only gradual, but that near the end, the doses be incrementally cut even more slowly, and should gradually decrease to levels well below the lowest therapeutic dosage level. Much evidence has shown that a misdiagnosis of relapse is not uncommon when withdrawal symptoms come on too harshly and may be misinterpreted as a relapse. Be informed before you start Viibryd withdrawal so that you have a good grasp on what to expect and you can accurately inform your prescriber what you are experiencing so it will not be misdiagnosed.

Can You Stop Taking Viibryd Cold Turkey?

Though some may have been able to abruptly stop Viibryd without many consequences, that would be the exception, and could likely include persons who took Viibryd only for a few days or a few weeks at most or took only very low doses. In any case, a cold turkey approach is not recommended as it can lengthen the process of Viibryd withdrawal, and may encourage misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment measures, as previously cautioned, above.18

The recommended route is to go slow and gradual, and if the taper should still become too harsh for the body to tolerate, reinstating at a higher dosage until stable and then resuming the taper more gradually would be preferable to ease the process.

Tips for Safe, Healthy Viibryd Withdrawal

  • Enlist competent medical support before starting Viibryd withdrawal. Inpatient treatment is best but if this is not possible, put together a solid support team including a prescriber who is sympathetic to your situation and familiar with antidepressant withdrawal. Let trusted friends and/or family know what your plans are so they can understand your efforts. A spouse or close associate may be able to assist with cooking, cleaning, or other chores. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, even if it is only for some moments of companionship with someone you feel comfortable spending quiet time with. Most people are happy and quite willing to help others given the opportunity to do so.
  • You may find it necessary to take time off work or school for a time to allow for a more relaxed schedule, extra rest, outdoor walks, reading, or other mild, relaxing activities, and to keep environmental stress to an absolute minimum during Viibryd withdrawal.
  • Stay in close contact with your prescriber if you are not able to enter an inpatient setting, so that minor changes in dosage (which can make major differences) can be well-managed as you go through the process.

If you have attempted Viibryd withdrawal and found the process too difficult to manage on your own, we strongly recommend considering inpatient help. At Alternative to Meds Center, we specialize in the most difficult of cases. The process of Viibryd withdrawal need not be torturous or overly long with the proper help in place. We are here to help.
