Well, I finally got my hands on some Reboxetine (all legit, with much help from my p-doc). I've been on it about 10 days now, currently up to 8mgs daily, split in two doses.
1) Lightheadness (dizziness) each time dose increased, went away after a few days.
2) Serious insomnia, using tranqs for the moment. P-doc wants to use sedating antidepressants, but for the moment I don't want to confuse results from combined ADs. At least the tranqs are a known, if not pleasant, quantity.
3) Heavy-duty constipation. Resorting to usual OTC methods. On the bright side, I save some time in my usual morning routine.
4) Loss of libido, impotence. Since I don't feel like being around people, this is not at the moment a dealbreaker.
Sadly, I cannot report mood improvement. I still don't give a damn about anything, avoid social contact, not being a "productive member" of society. I've only been up to the 8mgs for a few days, so I realize I have to give it another month to evaluate. Just thought I'd share progress with everyone who's been interested in Reboxetine.
Film at 11, except for item # 4 above, which is either too sad or too bad to display.
