I am feeling well enough to start worrying about what will happen
when I go off this stuff. I've heard awful things about Effexor
and the SSRI's, but no one seems to know about Reboxetine.
I had few side effects with it (insomnia, sweats) does this
mean that this is what will happen when / if I go off this? I have no plans to
go off for at least six months if not a year as this is
my second episode of major depression. This one was worse because of the
suicidal thoughts and anxiety (neither of which was present in my first episode). I shudder to think how much worse another attack could
be if they continue to escalate. I'm in the UK and counselling is hard to get into so
I am having to handle it on my own with faith and the AD, which is working well for
now, I'm just feeling a bit panicky about the future. Any advice?Thanks,
Jen

In reply to Reboxetine withdrawl effects?, posted by Jen on July 22, 1999, at 10:03:42
Just some questions? Does Reboxetine help with your anxiety or does it maybe add to your agitation/anxiety? Would it be better to be taking a combination of Reboxetine and a med. that helps with anxiety? In what ways is reboxetine helping you?
Best wishes.

> Best wishes.Reboxetine has helped with the anxiety and the suicidal thoughts. I feel much better than I
did weeks ago. It seemed to work quicker than Prozac which is
what I used the first time around, plus there are no sexual side
effects with Reboxetine like there can be with Prozac, at least not
that I have run across anyway. I don't know about combining meds though.
That sounds like it would be best discussed wtih your doctor. Hopefully Reboxetine will be approved in the US soon.
Thanks for the reply!Jen
