> I recently read that the BMJ had reviewed reboxetine and found it an "ineffective and thus dangerous antidepressant" (though it worked well for me, Zolfot alone did SFA for my depression, where as adding edronax had me feeling better within a fortnight) Given this poor rating, should I look at changing my NARI from reboxetine to nortriptylineI consider that to be a reasonable decision. Reboxetine sucks, in my opinion. Dangerous? Perhaps. For me, it produced an exacerbation of depression and anxiety such that I became suicidal within a week. I like the way I feel on nortriptyline much better - even better than desipramine.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
