Nortriptyline and Edronxa(Reboxetine) Combo ?

Posted by Ted Brosnan on November 14, 2004, at 17:27:07

Hi. I feel that the 50mg Nortriptylne I am taking isn't as effective as 2 or 4 mg reboxetibne (pure NARI). What I dislike about the Reboxetine is urine retention. The Nortriptyline prevents that by its alpha adrenergic antagonism.

I wonder if I can combine the two. Say, 2mg reboxetine and 25mg Nortriptyline. Any idea?

ED_UK?

Hi Ted,

If side effects aren't a problem with the nortriptyline you could always increase the dose. Make sure you're getting the best out of the nort before you consider combining it with something else.

I doubt there would be a problem with combining a low dose of nortriptyline with reboxetine. I was on Strattera (atomoxetine) together with nortriptyline for a year. If reboxetine is like atomoxetine, it would give a stronger alerting effect than nortrip. This would make it more efficacious for ADD symptoms.
