A member asked:

Does any one have patients on just 20mg viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) as opposed to 40mg and are doing ok...also does tegretol reduce the effectiveness of viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: I have patients doing well on 20 mg a day of viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride). Tegretol does lower viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) blood levels. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
