Variable.: Everyone is different and time will tell. You should discuss with your physician the risks and benefits of each and the best method of changing.. Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) works much like Celexa in inhibiting the re-uptake of serotonin. Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) also acts on another receptor, called the serotonin 1a receptor. It is thought , for some, this receptor may help additionally in both depression and anxiety.
