I thought that I'd just post some of my experiences with the NARI reboxetine/edronax, as there was precious little in the archives when I was searching for it.
Well, I'm currently taking 1mg in the evening and morning, although with 10mg of celexa in the evenings. I am slowly tapering off the celexa and ramping up the reboxetine.
I am switching meds because I was utterly fed up with the lethargy and apathy and general sleepiness that I got with celexa. Okay it did help with the aniexty and with the depression.
Well, so far so good with the reboxetine - the first couple of days excess sweating, slightly spaced out, (but think this was related to the celexa withdrawal) and I kept waking up in the night. Also when I stand up too quickly I get dizzy but I have always had this (I'm a 5'10" F - and I actually add salt to things in an attempt to rise my blood pressure!) . Apparently it is a side effect of the reboxetine as well. The side effects have subsided after just a week.
The benefits - I guess its too early to tell, although I have noticed that my concentration has increased alot. I can concentrate at work! I was alittle down yesterday, but the day before that I took a really high dose multivitamin B complex, which may have caused it.
I guess also these things take two weeks or more to work, so I've promised myself that I'll keep it up for at least a month.
Take care all you lovely Babble-folk.
