I've remained well on reboxetine (Edronax, a selective NRI) since January 2002. Over the past month I've experienced "breakthrough" depression, which is distressing after being well for so relatively long. I had also been on carbamazepine but decided to come off in April because it caused slight nausea and diziness and I'd never been manic. I did seem to miss some of its sedative effects with slightly more disturbed sleep before crashing in September.
As I've been on a number of different kinds of antidepressant in the past, especially during my last depressive episode, I've just been started on
pindolol (a beta blocker) as augmentation, rather than switching antidepressant.I'd be interested to hear from others with experience of long-term reboxetine treatment and/or augmentation with pindolol.
(I think reboxetine has not yet been licensed in the US?)
