> thanks Cam! I would love to go with Wellbutrin, but docs here won't do it. I have asked and asked. I have read good things about it. They all think I will have a seizure...i have no history of seizures....i am putting in a call to psychiatrist and will ask him. thus far all med people want me on ssris.....well celexa was good, but boy i paid a hefty price in lack of sleep and teeth grinding...broke a tooth actually! $840 later for a crown...yikes. You take Wellbutrin...what are your thoughts? How long have you taken it? side effects?
>mucho thanks for response, Cam.Jacquie - I have seen the bruising with SSRIs a couple of times. Once with Prozac and the other time with Zoloft (I think). Prozac would not be a good idea because of its long half-life.

> I don't think reboxetine is released in the U.S., yet, but I'm a Canuck, so what do I know. We don't even have mirtazapine(sp?) - Remeron. I do know that reboxetine is being used in a clinical trial at our University Hospital with some success. One of our pdocs hinted at some problem they were having with it (I was led to believe it was side effect related). It is a different drug from the, SRIs as it blocks norepinephrine reuptake (eg. probably good for depressed people who do not respond to the SRIs; ie have a noradrenergically-based depression). I have no clinical experience with it and know only what I have read on this board and in a couple of journal articles.
