Hi,

Thanks for writing to us,

Vilazodone (Viibryd) is one of the newer novel antidepressants that has not been used as extensively as the other antidepressants that are available in the market. Most of the study or research done on this medication report it to be safe and to have mild to moderate side effects of nausea, diarrhea, headache etc. A dosage of 10mg is on the lower side of the range which is not expected to cause intolerable side effects. Nevertheless, being alert while on any medications is important but that of course does not warrant constant worry.

Stay in touch with your psychiatrist regularly.
Wishing you the best of health
Hope this helps.
