Hi Scott!
I started reboxetine last summer - I'm sure if you search the archives you'll find my experiences on it - I posted them here.
Basically, reboxetine was great for panic but didn't really have any influence on my mood, although perhaps it did give me more energy. My friends told me I was pretty grumpy. Other than that, it made my heart beat 'more strongly' is the only way I could put it, and it must have messed with my hormones, because I found it easy to lose weight, my periods stopped, and it gave me bad acne.
So I gave it up. I wasn't taking anything else with it at the time, although I was taking a *tiny* amount of celexa (<5mg) as I was weaning off and then I stopped the celexa and continued on with the reboxetine for a few weeks.
With moc, I got the same feeling as when I was on reboxetine with regard to panic. I'll try and describe it - when you would normally get a shot of adrenaline in 'panic' situations eg tripping over etc or in a panic attack, you'd get this weird giddy feeling instead and you wouldn't feel the adrenaline pumping.
Hope this helps somehow.
Kind regards
Meri
