> Are you considering reboxetine. It think it is available to you in France. In studies it was shown to be more effective in general than desipramine. It is considered the cleanest of the NE active med.s. It tends to increase motivation and energy rather than be sedating. That has been my personal expereince. It does have some alpha-adrenergic affinty though meaning it tends to tighten the muscle around the urinary tract making it difficult to urinate. This side effect does not go away but can be countered by an alpha-andrenergic blocking agent such as tamsulosin HCL.
> Didn't you say you have chronic fatigue? Have you been diagnosed with that? Have you gotten any blood tests to determine the underlying problem?Andrew,
Good idea the reboxetine, but I just checked on the french web site for meds. I didn't find the reboxetine. Is it the brand name or substance ? Same question for tamsulosin HCL. thanks.
(appart from that, I was surprised that you remembered the chronic fatigue ! yes, I had blood tests, but like every time: nothing wrong in my tests.)
