A member asked:

What do you advise if i'm on 20 mg of viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) and have sleep apnea. i've do this nightly will it make my viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) less effective?

Shouldn't: Tranquilizers and sleeping pills like Xanax and Ambien can actually worsen sleep apnea physiologically, but Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) shouldn't.
