Having moderate drowsiness from viibryd 20 mg. i started taking viibryd about a month ago. tried switching to taking it at night and it did not help. will the drowsiness subside?

May be: This is a common side effect , it may subside with continued use, if really bothersome ask your prescriber if you would go back to 10 mg / day , then advance as tolerated or till having desired therapeutic effect. Taking it at night won't help, as it has a long half life, so it stays in your system for at least 24 hours, wish you wellness

Uncertain: Somnolence/ sedation is reported in about 1 to 10% of people. I haven't had any patients who had this side effect - so I am unsure.
