Does anyone have experiences in augmentation an SSRI (e.g. Zoloft) with Edronax ? I take 50 mg of Zoloft for three weeks. After twoo weeks I had a little improvement which disappeared. I couldnt raise up the dose because of side effects (nausea, nervousness). I read that Edronax (reboxetine) could be for melancholic depression (better than ssri). I had a two weeks trial with Edronax 4 mg in addition to 60 mg Celexa. After ten days I had a feeling that it was doing something for my depression (besides urinary retention and increased heart rate). Unfortunately I had to tapper down all my meds cause of a ECG problem (which was unclear if it was caused by Flupentihixol or the med cocktail). Now the ECG is okay with 50 mg of Zoloft but myself not at all (after withdrawl from celexa discontinuation) ...crying all the time and feelings of hopelessness. My doc just added 1.25 mg of Zyprexa cause of my agitation (from Zoloft ?). I took it on 6 pm and on 9 pm i was fatigue and drugged. In the morning i felt sedation and headache which changed to fog in the brain during the day. I had the same experience with remeron 7.5 mg to 80 mg Celexa (sedation, dizzy, headache). Should I stick with the Zyprexa (as an augmentation) ? How long does it take to kick in the Zyprexa ? I am a little scared of Zyprexa (people on this board complaining feeling to be indifferent and zombieness). Or should i give a second try to Edronax/Remeron. ?
