Hi Andrew and John,
I tried half a tab (1mg)... and same thing. Oy. I don't usually respond so strongly to tiny doses...
Maybe adrafinil is worth a shot. I did do well on amisulpride til it stopped working. Am curious about minaprine (dopamine & serotonin reuptake inhibitor).

> 1. Your norepinephrine levels are fine. They don't need to be increased, and only make you feel worse when they are increased.
> 2. For whatever reason, your body chemistry rejects the Reboxetine molecule. Just not a good match.
> 3. If Reboxetine is going to work for you, it is going to do so only through an indirect trickle down effect over time. It is not on target, and your response proves it.

> You know, I felt the same way as you on Reboxetine. It was horrible. I thought I felt miserable before. But when taking Rebox, yikes is right! Worse than awful. But then later I discovered my body really likes Adrafinil, Amisulpride, or both together the best. It makes me wonder if you and I have similar chemistries. It makes me wonder if you too would respond well to Adrafinil and/or Amisulpride. My gut instinct is that you would. Something to think about.
