> Scott asked Eric this in another thread. I remembered you wrote that you experienced anxiety and normally don't have it. Would this mean that since OCD is in the anxiety spectrum this wouldn't be a good med then? Could anxiety in your case have been a lessening of depression this thought just this second popped into my mind? Phillipa
Good questions.
I am concerned that Viibryd can exacerbate anxiety or OCD via stimulation of postsynaptic serotonin 5-HT1a receptors. This is just theoretical, though. Time will sort this out.
For me, increased anxiety is not associated with a decrease in depression. I must use mental gymnastics to control anxiety, especially in social situations. Anxiety was more of a problem when I was younger.
