Anxiety Redux Redux

Posted by jono_in_adelaide on November 13, 2012, at 21:16:04

Saw the doc yesterday, plan is:

Stop Welbutrin and go back to Edronax, and push the dose to 10mg per day (up from 8mg)

If no impreovemnt after 4 weeks, go back to 8mg per day and double the Zoloft from 100mg per day to 200mg per day

Also have his approval to take Xanax three times a day (up from twice a day) for as long as I feel the need.

Jono I don't think we have endronax here. But getting off the wellbutrin and upping the xanax sounds like a good plan. Phillipa

Edronax is reboxetine, a noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor. It is used in Europe, the UK and Australia in much the same way as Welbutrin is used in the US - the main difference is that Edronax has also been shown to be effective in panic disorder. I doube that the dose increase will have much effect, as i am not having panic attacks, just intense generalised anxiety and anticipatory anxiety, but, one can only but try.

I ordered Reboxetine years ago from Italy, I think.
I talked my psychiatrist into letting me try it. She threw her arms up and said, may as well.
I took a small dose the next morning and went to my super stressful job at the time.
I felt like I was having a heart attack. I may have been on Ritalin and Clonazepam at the time.
