Hi MM
I also hated SSRIs. Increased my anxiety.I tried Serzone for approx 6 mths and found it better than the SSRIs. It reduced the social anxiety a little but made me feel numb and dumb. I think it works on both NA and serotonin but isn't a very strong anti depressant. After it was removed from the market I went off it slowly and the old symptoms gradually returned.
After experimenting with tyrosine I found my energy levels improved and panic reduced but not always consistently.
I live in Australia and Reboxetine is available here. Isn't Strattera a NARI? I thought I read that in Crazy Meds. Could you try a v low dose and increase it slowly, using your sleep patterns as a guide, i.e. don't increase it if you can't sleep. Maybe give the tyrosine a go too?
