It is possible that the use of the SSRIs was masking the pain.
When you stopped, then the pain became more obvious. SSRIs are a treatment for neuropathy pain for some patients.
But your high MCV suggests you are borderline or getting low in B12. The red cells get larger as B12 goes down. Eventually with time a macrocytic anemia develops...but neuro symptoms often appear first.
The Viibyrd is just too new to blame yet. It can take years of use to link some postmarketing side effects of new drugs.
