Hi,
I'm still taking clomipramine but we have reduced the dose to 150mg because the 200mg wasn't doing anything accept make me feel more tired.
I'm not as bad as I was at the beginning of the year, in that I feel more in control of my behaviour and can function and plan things ok but I still feel like I did when the Seroxat stopped working back in 2005.
I still feel as though life really isn't that great and that maybe death wouldn't be such a bad thing and I know that this is not really a normal way to feel. Well at least I never felt like that when I was undepressed.
My pscyhiatrist who is a private psychiatrist and is very good in that I really feel as though she is listening to me and she does think logically has added Reboxetine to the Clomipramine.
However, I started the Reboxetine last Friday (4 days ago) and I don't really feel any different so now I'm thinking I've got to carry on taking this dose (4mg) for another five weeks and I know it isn't going to work. I know I should be patient and should just give it time but I just feel like my trying any more meds is pointless because I'm never really going to feel anything better than dysthymic.
Has anyone had a good response to reboxetine and if so how long did it take and at what dose?
Denise
