Currently on Viibryd 30mg daily -- changed over from Lexapro to Viibryd about 6 months ago. My depressive symptoms are all about sleeping - the more depressed I am, the more I sleep. Lexapro didn't seem to ameliorate that symptom so that's why the change to Viibryd.

I feel like the Viibryd helps somewhat but I still get knocked off balance by changes. How do I know what feelings are feelings I just need to learn to live with? I have a therapist I see bi-weekly and that makes a difference. I'm not sure but I think the Viibryd contributes to me wanting to stay in bed. Is that a possibility?

I just need to express myself in a place I know other people get it. It's not like I didn't know my teeth were in bad shape. I asked my dentist about dental implants about 2 months ago. He gave me a referral to a peridontal dentist and that appointment was the shocking part. I couldn't quite wrap my head around the drastic measures the peridontal dentist explained to me.

I went back to my dentist this past week to ask if I couldn't just get partials. Apparently that's not an option because of my teeth and gums. It was 3 years ago that my dentist reassured me that my teeth weren't bad enough to have them all pulled. Now he reiterated what the peridonal dentist stated saying, "It didn't help with your kidney disease ... " So I learned that kidney disease affects teeth and gums.

Maybe I need reassurance there's light at the end of the tunnel? The surgery is scheduled for September and my dentist is making temporary dentures (?) Maybe if I understood the process better - it might be easier to accept what's happening next. My daughter reminds me that I have things to be grateful for. Today I am grateful that my parents left money that enables me to take care of this issue properly.
