I experienced a mild worsening at 4 mg/day of reboxetine that included some anxiety, something that I usually don’t experience. After 7 days, my doctor raised the dosage to 8 mg/day. Within 48 hours, the anxiety increased and I was just about paralyzed with depression, not wanting to move a muscle. I just sat on a couch and stared at the floor. Thoughts of hopelessness and suicide filled my head. After 2 days, this stuff did not get any better, and I decided to discontinue the reboxetine. Within 48 hours of the last dose, I felt better.
