The best meds for me have been the MAO's but they stopped working and I am currently on Emsam (5 mos) and Abilify (2 weeks)but want to have a backup plan just in case. Thanks, Stargazer
Hi Stargazer
I dont know if rebox is available in US. Maybe someone else can answer that. I buy mine from a european online pharmacy, but due to board policy I cant tell you where. Too bad.
In theory Atomoxetine (Strattera) would do the same, but I have no experience with that drug. Anyway, it is far more expensive than rebox.
MAOs have been the drug of choice for atypical depression for many years due to their effect on noradrenalin.
Noradrenalin is just the european name for norepinephrine.
I hope this can help you. Viking
