Could anyone with any experience of Reboxetine please give me an idea of how its speed of onset of relief compares with that of other antidepressants (I have tried them all)? Is it the standard 2-3 week wait? I intend to start high & fast and progress to 12mg/day as soon as.
Also, I am currently 1 & 4 weeks into trials of Serzone & Adrafinil respectively. Neither has yet yielded any positive results but in the abscence of any real side effects, I am tempted to keep both on (esp. the Adrafinil) in the hope of a fortuitous interaction with Reboxetine.
I know polypharmacology can be a risky business, especially without the direction of a pdoc, but my need for relief (of dysthymia+social phobia+double depression) is so urgent that I am prepared to trade the risks posed by a shotgun/scattershot approach for a statistically greater chance of success. I am even considering throwing Provigil into the pot.
No pdoc here in the U.K. will prescribe me stimulants (which supposedly offer fast-acting relief)
Any thoughts? Anyone?
Thanx in advance,
ta,
Jah.
