Hang in there drs.
I have been taking reboxetine for almost 9 weeks.
I started at 8 mg a day, and it was overwhelming. I was totally impotent, distracted, agitated, had a lot of trouble peeing. After five days I cut the dose in half and immediately felt better. The sexual dysfunction took a while to go away. It slowly improved until week 7, when things made it back to normal.I moved back up to 8 mg a day five days ago. The sex problems came back and the slow pee problem, but none of the agitation or zombie problems.
The side effects took a long time to go away at 4 mg, so I'm hoping they will just take a while to go away at 8 mg.
At 4 mg, I started noticing some subtle improvements in motivation and my willingness (though not desire) to socialize. During the past few days at 8 mg those subtle changes have intensified - I feel more motivated to do things, and the more I cash in on the motivation the more stable my mood becomes.
We'll see what happens. Good luck.
Luke
