Reboxetine/edronax – Three weeks on………….

Posted by Meri-Tuuli on August 8, 2005, at 9:17:39

I’m down to 1/16 (!) of a tab of celexa/cipramil and 4mg at day total reboxetine.

Firstly I don’t know how I’m getting on with this medication – I find it hard to be objective in myself. I guess I’ll just have to go on what my instinct and my feelings are.

So……..
I definitely have no/little anxiety and no panic attacks. I also have a feeling that I respond better to stress, although I’m not very stressed at the moment.
I think that it definitely ameliorates the symptoms of my depression in general. I also thought that it improved my negative thoughts and self esteem; however, I’m feeling pretty bad about myself at the moment which may be temporary and due to PMS (I’m due any time now). I think it has improved my concentration and motivation because I was pretty hopeless before and now at least I’m doing abit more stuff and things like that.

More importantly it has definitely improved my sociability and also I am a lot less apathic and tired than I used to be on celexa/cipramil.

So……..overall? It’s doing its job – it’s very good for anxiety and panic attacks. For depression, I guess its doing quite well too and it has increased my motivation and concentration.

Side effects that I am experiencing – increased heartbeat at times, and some more sweating that usual. I am less hungry than on celexa/cipramil and rather bizarrely, I have an aversion to savoury food preferring cereal and muffins and things like that instead. Could this be to try and improve my serotonin levels after I was celexa/cipramil?
Some weight loss too, not to great. I just feel satisfied for longer after I’ve eaten.
BUT – I now have acne!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have serious breakout problems, and my hair is more greasy too.
There is also some disrupted sleep patterns. I find it harder to fall into a ‘deep sleep’.

We’ll see how its going week four….sorry to bore all you babble folks, its just that I wanted there to be something in the archives for other people searching for experiences on this med!

:o)
