Yes, should work for low motivation and self-esteem but not a co-existing anxiety disorder but rather low self-esteem as a result of depression. I think Edronax(Reboxetine)is a good, new SNRI; v-potent and highly selective like the SSRI Paroxetine.

I experienced urinary retention after the first tablet of 2 mg. Is this a side effect which will probably subside ? I am a little scared of impotence which was described under Edronax treatment.
