Yes, should work for low motivation and self-esteem but not a co-existing anxiety disorder but rather low self-esteem as a result of depression. I think Edronax(Reboxetine)is a good, new SNRI; v-potent and highly selective like the SSRI Paroxetine.

> I experienced urinary retention after the first tablet of 2 mg. Is this a side effect which will probably subside ? I am a little scared of impotence which was described under Edronax treatment.I haven't had the urinary retention could be that it just affects men ? my pdoc said that I'd just go to the toilet more often which is nothing new.The side effects should dissapear after the first week~I don't have any accept the dry mouth.
As for the impotence I haven't read anything about this infact reboxetine has increased my libido and does help with sexual side effects of effexor.
Just for rthe record , I recently cut down my dose [thought effexor discontinuation was hell] now on the full 8mg dose the anxiety and anger has gone, so it is one potent pill and if you hate housework you may start enjoying it.
