I haven't been here in a while, just wanted to let anyone who is interested know how things are going on reboxetine.
GREAT, still, after about 4 months.
The only problem I have is this - I hope it gets approved in the US so my insurance will cover it!
I've suffered depression for a good 15 years, and I can honestly say that I have never felt so much self confidence, desire to be social, willingness to take on new challenges and ability to control my emotions. All those things together do wonders for mood!
Here are some other very real changes that I have noticed.
- After a lifetime of being an absolute disorganized slob, I have kept my home and work spaces clean for months - not because I make myself but because I actually WANT to.
- I found the motivation to quit a couple of drug habits I have felt unable to quit for years.
- I don't find myself feeling guilty when I screw things up, sleep late, opt to have a good time at the expense of some "responsibility" - not that I'm reckless, but I can enjoy being human for the first time.
- I find that I listen to other people's stories and care about them more than I ever have - I am feeling better, so I am less self-absorbed and more able to connect with others.Anyway, I hope this offers someone else some hope. I know everyone responds differently to any AD, but as for me, I'm a reboxetine cheerleader!
Good luck,
Luke
