> Back to the topic-reboxetine--can anyone who takes it report on whether it helps them feel more motivated and goal directed?
Noa, after a decade of depression and unsuccessful stints on SSRIs, I started reboxetine in Oct. Yes, it definitley has a big impact on drive and motivation. For me, the increased motivation and desire to be social have led to wonderful results. And all those wonderful results ultimately have caused the improved mood I have hoped to find for years.
For some of us, I think the motivation is the key. My depression came from a lack of self esteem which came from never doing anything, never wanting to do anything. Now that I have the desire and the ability to set goals and make things happen, I have a much healthier sense of myself, more self esteem. When you want to accomplish things and you do accomplish things, when you feel good about yourself and you get out and mingle with people (because you WANT to), how can you not experience an improvement in mood?Good luck,
Luke
