> How did maprotiline differ from other NE reuptake inhibitors?It gave a fast calming feeling very different than SSRIs.It did not give me this indifference/apthy feeling...it killed anxiety and made me focus,but not that energetic or sociable,just calm and focused.Also no tremors or tachycardia like other NEs..I think it has a moderate anti histaminic,anti sertonergic effects which relieves insomnia and anxiety + the NE inhibition which gives the antidepressant and focused effects.
I think it is way underrated and this thing about having seizures above 150mg is overexaggerated and the same could be said about both clomipramine and bupropion(I only took 75mg and never needed more anyway!).....but I still think that Imipramine gave me better antidepressant/motivated effects but less anxiolytic effects than maprotiline,oh and AC effects on maprotiline are benign.
(I think Maprotiline ranks for me among the top -available- ADs along with imipramine,fluoxetine)

> When you say Parnate made you act like you were drunk do you mean it made you over confident and disinhibited? Sounds like a good treatment for SP!!If being disinhibited and overconfident and arrogant and unsympathetic is the opposite to SP,I do not want it...my personality changed with this medication and I felt I'm not the same.but,again,with something like bromazepam and xanax you really erase SP without erasing who you are.

> How did reboxetine compare to TCAs like desipramine?Oooooh ! this one was a terrible experience,within 48 hours I had SEVERE constipation and urinatry problems and within days I had severe depression with horrible ideas,I couldn't even smile..if there is a depression pill it is this one...I tried it again with as little as 1mg with fluoxetine,but it was too much and killed prozac's effects...
I"m sure there is something in the chemestry of this medication that makes it unlike desipramine and the other NEs,maybe an NE2 antagonist effect...I noticed from older posts people had very bad reactions too...I swear if you give reboxetine to a normal guy but sensetive to it like me and others for a week or 2 I'm sure he will commit suicide.

> I find it very silly that some countries seem to think that flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) is so much more dangerous than other benzos. All the major benzos can cause amnesia, sedation, disinhibition, aggression etc. Flunitrazepam is not unique!I could not agree more !
