Hypothetically should viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) be activating or sedating? (keeping in mind we are all different) and can it be used for ocd/anxiety?

For Major Depression: For MDD, but as you may know - off label use of all psych meds has become the norm. I find it very troubling, but many seem completely acceptable. I also feel less comfortable in direct relation to the newness of the drug (lack of data) and this is new. I firmly believe that w/out at least including a reliable 'good fit' therapist to help learn skills for managing life - we miss the boat.

ACTIVATING: For the most part tends to be activating for most patients. Does not have an OCD indication so not sure if it would be effective. Plenty of other medications have the OCD indication like Prozac, Paxil, (paroxetine) Zoloft, Anafranil, and Luvox.
