Joe OCD meaning you can't function due to time taken to carry out rituals or a milder form such as ruminating or worry as I call it & for me picking at cuticles, and doing things in about the same way all the time. I do know that I was more of above before I started the low dose combined though with luvox. How bad is the OCD? Phillipa

15 years ago it was ruminations/constant worry...and checking, order etc...checking /order has subsided by about 60% since treatment began in 1997...ruminations worry still prominent...giving viibryd a chance ti 6 weeks..some improvement..my dr will not prescribe 2 ssri's as your will

Joe only reason mine will is that when my old pdoc retired was on this. She and I had a different sort of relationship. She knew my Son & his wife at the time was a patient, and his biological child & her child. At the time Son was handling Disability claims for the VA and this doc was doing the evaluations for Veterans. So he had a professional relationship with her. The ex-wife and her Daughter saw her too. So she was well acquainted and knew I would not take more than low doses of anything. She would ask me what I wanted to take or try. I also knew she took pristiq. So we were friends too. She knew my medical background of lymes as knew the infection control doc also. So one day I asked about lexapro. She said would you like to try it with the luvox since your dose is so low? I said fine. She gave me at least a years worth of samples. When someone here suggested I could get serotonin syndrome. She laughed and said well call me if you do. So felt secure with her. Son divorced moved remarried and still does government work in DC via computer from Florida. But the doc I had to take here just writes scripts he says "well it that works for you fine". So that is how and why. Very long post. So you never did take lexapro? I never took viibrd. I must google it. Phillipa

you might be wrong--if you look on drug checker it seemdm viibryd interacts with less meds than many other ssri's...take a look and compare total interactions to..paxil-luvox-prozac-etc...i think zoloft may have the least....tried lexapro years ago..seemed to work better with klonopin than ativan...which i am currently on
