I have been treated for depression for 18 months now until 2 weeks ago I was treated with various SSRi, although not much help infact at times I felt very suicidel,my GP decided to change my medication to Reboxetine. I have been taking Reboxetine for almost 2 weeks in that time I have experienced hot flushes which I can live with. I also am suffering from terrible insomnia for the first six days I did not sleep at all, for the rest of the time if I do manage to go to sleep it's when my head spins i'm so tired, but within an hour or at the most two hours i'm wideawake again although i'm exhausted,accompanied with the insomnia is lightheadedness and dizzyness on standing or turning my head, my GP has told me to bare with it for a bit longer. I'm due to return to work next week with young and vulnerable children I need to know if the dizzyness etc is short term otherwise I feel I may have to give up a job I adore as at times i feel so dizzy I need to sit on the floor not good when with children. Please tell me it gets better thanks. Wideawake
