Hi Paul,
Someone has probably already taken up your offer for your reboxetine and viloxazine, but if not, I am interested. My email is thephoenixgirl@hotmail.com.
Thank you!

I felt like I was rolling some which was not my intent, and wasn't very pleasant. Of course I still took my adderall. But needless to say, some of my adhd benefited at first.

> I learned the hard way, of course, always check with your doc, because I didn't. Both NARI's backfired on my ass. Social skills became, and please quote me, "all talk, and no action." ie. . I felt like and said I could do anything, but became to anxious to do anything. I cried for no reason! I couldn't have sex. I couldn't shut up! As you can sense now, I'm talkative.

> My god it was a nightmare. I ended up so freaked out by it after a week or so, that I couldn't go to classes. My eyes would be bloodshot sometimes. I would be driving my car and felt as if the earth was dropping out from underneath me. I had to reassure myself that all was good and I wasn't falling. I would be mega sensitive to the faintest sound. I now never will forget what they mean by fight (no fighting), flight or fright. Sounds like Jacobs Ladder. I ended up paranoied into my own bathroom! My god, that's worse then a bad trip!

> Clearly, I am a total dumbass. If anybody needs free reboxetine (Edronax) or that other shit, I've got some. Seriously, FREE, in blister strips. It's my reward for anybody who actually read my horror story. I hope that it fairs well for you.

> I guess I don't need the NA stuff, it's the DA that might help me with adhd. But these dumbasses who make medicine insist that NA rules and include it in everything. And clearly, for some people it does rule.

> One thing I later learned was the Zoloft decrease NA some, so if that's correct, I might have had good reason to think that a NARI would have helped me then. Of course I may have misunderstood the information about SSRI and NA. I didn't do so hot in Psychopharmacology, then again it wasn't my major.

> I hope you all no what you're doing! But if it doesn't work for you, remember me and think, "it could have been worse."
