A member asked:

Upped my viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) from 20mg to 40mg 3 days ago. today it feels like the floor is swaying beneath my feet. i this a common or serious adverse reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worrisome: mostly because of the potential for falling and serious injury. Although it may go away, you should contact your presciber about reducing the dose, for now.
