In reply to Reboxetine/Ritilin for Depression?, posted by Katz on January 23, 2001, at 19:02:07
I have tried so many anti-depressants over the last 12 years that I would be embarrassed to talk about it anywhere other than a forum like this one. The single most effective drug I have taken is RITAIN. I know that all these meds are idiosincratic and what works for some may not work, or even may exacerbate symtoms for others. I am a recovering alcholic. RITAIN has not been addictive for me. I can tell you if I had been able to get it as a teenager you might have thought I was addicted, as I would certainly have shown a great liking for it. Because it makes me feel better. It has powerful mood elavating properties. Now days it comes in smoother release formats as Concerta. Why is it that if a drug works really well for some people, it is suddenly under suspicion? Ritalin may be speed but it helps my depresion considerably. My doctor and I constantly dinker with other meds trying to find a combo that will move me to a better level of functioning. But the constant is Ritalin. I am currently undertaking a trial of Reboxetine/Edronax. I'm not so sure about it. I'm going to post a seperate message about that experience though. This web site is a wonderful service. Thank Dr.Bob whoever you are.
