Hi Mischief,
Like so many of us here, it looks as if you've been put through the ringer. I'm familiar with most of the meds you listed, but the proprietary (brand) names of a few of them were new to me. Were there any meds in that list that you felt were helpful? Or, was there any one med that was "the least of the evils"? How did you do on Wellbutrin? I see you were on Zyban and Wellbutrin, which are one and the same, I believe.
I found Wellbutrin to be very activating. Did it help your depression? What were you on right before you started Reboxetine?By the way, in a previous post you mentioned that you were getting "migraines." Have you ever had
migraines before, or did they start with Reboxetine? When you see your pdoc on Thursday, be sure to mention the headaches and all the other side effects. I think that the decision to stay on any of these meds ultimately turns out to be a decision regarding costs vs. benefits. Are you getting enough out of the med to justify the side effects? Right now, it seems as if you're only having side effects and few, if any, benefits. I think you should tell your pdoc everything you've told us so you can be sure the reboxetine side effects are not dangerous.I've read some good things about reboxetine, but it seems that there aren't that many people on this site who've tried it; perhaps that's because it's so difficult to obtain it in the U.S.
By the way, are you on any other medicines that might be interfering with reboxetine? And, have you had a thorough physical exam recently to rule out any medical conditions that could be contributing to your problems?
