>I had the same withdrawal issues coming each time I came off a melatonergic agent, be it Valdoxan, Rozerem and OTC melatonin in the past. The withdrawal effects included feeling tired during the day and mental slowness (especially in terms of verbal fluency). I'm curious how long the withdrawal effects lasted/are lasting for you? Are you still experiencing some cognitive dysfunction?
On another note, have you tried a NRI before? Are you augmenting with Reboxetine or are you planning on doing this monotherapeutically? I'm extremely skeptical of noradrenergic action being touted as having reliable efficacy. My experience has been very negative with Reboxetine, Savella, and Straterra. My own advice is to proceed with caution.
