The 23 days were not a waste and it’s not like starting the medication all over again. It can be dangerous to stop the medication abruptly so it’s best not to do that. It often takes weeks for medications like Vibryd to work. Most physicians feel that if there has been no improvement by 6 weeks the medication use should be reassessed. Do not stop it on your own. It needs to be slowly stopped.
