> dgamboni@juno.comI was eager to try Reboxetine and ordered it online from a Swiss pharmacy in Zurich, Victoria Apotheke (www.access.ch/victoria_pharmacy) I am a
very treatment-resistant BP2. I found the Reboxetine showed signs of working within 24-hours - but I am a quick responder. But it had positive
effect after several days. I don't recall any major side-effects. I felt activated and motivated and had much more energy. I still had negative
feelings and thoughts, so we added Prozac in conjunction after two weeks. The Prozac caused an
immediate reversal of all the postive effects - within 24 hours. Prozac was stopped and - within 12 hours - the postive effects of the Reboxetine returned. After 5 weeks, the effects of the Reboxetine 'faded" away and could not be restarted
even with increases in dosage. (This is my normal
pattern with medications and may not apply to others.)
