I noticed an increased emotional sensitivity and especially visual sensitivity with it. You might not get as many side effects with it as Paxil. It could possibly reduce appetite and degrade sleep, however, although for some it regulates their sleep better.

> > hi mitch. I am considering various options if paxil turns out not to be good enough. Earlier you and someone else mentioned dispramine for concentration. Would reboxetine which is avialable here in canada be better suited? It works just for norepinephrine and is not a TCA and therefor less side effects. It's also very new. If I do decide to go with something like despramine would reboxetine be a better choice? It seems to be but I would like to know what you and others may think.

> We have been waiting, and waiting, for Reboxetine here and if I am not mistaken the FDA has turned it down!! What a bunch of assholes. They are surely protecting U.S. drug interests I am sure. So much for free market economies, huh?? As if they aren't making enough money already! Not as if unemployment of pharmaceutical workers here is running rampant due to cunning unfair foreign competition!

> MitchThanks. That deffinetly seems like a good idea. So far the paxil has helped a little. I hope it will be good enough on it's own but I'll find out soon I guess. Regarding sleep and appetite. I think those may have been helped just simply because my depression is not as severe anymore. Before I couldn't eat because I was too busy dealing with constant torture. Take care
