Hello
Week one on Reboxetine - .5mg x 2/day
First four days were generally great. Energy to burn, talkative, happy, able to concentrate and remember. Social anxiety not overly affected but better able to deal with it.Next few days started to experience episodes of fatigue and depression esp early in the morning and just before the second dose.
Second week - upped dosage to .5mg x 3.
Lasted two days and felt progressively awful. The depression was sad and overwhelming. Started crying while running...v early in am. Lost power of concentration - could reverse this a little by drinking strong coffee. Felt like I couldn't raise the energy to talk to people. Felt slow and tired.Last night missed third dose and stared to feel a little better. Still woke this morning feeling depressed but not so physically stuffed - worse than pre drug though.
I feel like chucking my job.
And I'm ready to chuck this drug.It is behaving just like the others...Paxil, Lexapro, Moclobemide and to a lesser extent Serzone. Starts out energising, happy and positive than deteriorates rapidly esp after a dosage increase despite the low dosages I'm using.
What am I doing wrong?
Would using Propranolol affect the function of Reboxetine? R can increase sensitivity to vasoactive drugs like Propranolol. Could R slow the metabolism of P or increase depression via P?

Any suggestions?
Thankyou
Sabre
