In reply to Reboxetine Experiences PLEASE HELP!, posted by Mischief on August 4, 2002, at 16:36:59
Most doctors will tell you that you must stay on antidepressants for a sufficient length of time at a therapeutic dosage in order to see whether the drug will be beneficial. You said you're on 8 mg a day, which is a therapeutic dosage for reboxetine. I don't know how long you'd have to stay on it. According to some of the information I've read on reboxetine, improvement can be seen as early as two weeks after starting, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be on it longer. The problem is, you seem to be experiencing such extreme discomfort that it would be good if you could discuss this with your doctor. Perhaps your response means that this is not the drug for you; on the other hand, if you can persevere WITHOUT ENDANGERING YOUR HEALTH, then perhaps you will start to feel better soon. You should discuss this with your psychopharmacologist.
