Does Viibryd Cause Nightmares?

I have been having violent nightmares that have caused me to scream,cry,cuss and slap and hit at things. My husband will wake me. I will go right back into nightmares that happen all night long. I have been on Viibryd for 3 months and I take 40 mg. This just started about a month ago. Is this a side effect. Thanks

Hi,
I am sorry to know about your condition and I'd certainly like to help you out.
Most of your symptoms are due to Viibryd.
Behavioral changes,hallucinations, acting on dangerous impulses, acting aggressive or violent and more are mainly side effects of long term use of
Viibryd.
I suggest consult your doctor at the earliest or try tapering the dose gradually.It will help.
I hope my answer helps.
Thanks,
Dr.Prabhas
