I've been trying Reboxetine over the last two weeks.
Does it cause agitation and anxiety similar to Wellbutrin, because I'm feeling both big time?
Does it go away, because the Wellbutrin-driven angst didn't for me?
Thx.
Pat

I never experienced agitation or anxiety, even if I did, it was certainly no where NEAR what I had on Wellbutrin. The major side effects of Reboxetine were constipation :( and tremendous suicidal thoughts and feelings that I wanted to die. It was for that reason alone that I got off of it...

I've been on 2-4mg of Reboxetine for 2 weeks, and I've never had insomnia like this. The anxiety and agitation are also unbearable. I'll try it for perhaps another week at 2 mg and if the insomnia/agitation/anxtiet persist, I'll bail. The depression is harsh, but I can't deal with the Reboxetine side effects. I don't know where I go from here. I bolted from Wellbutrin, because of the anxiety it caused. The only drugs left for me to try are Marplan, Selegeline (alreasy tried Nardil and Parnate) and Gepirone,when it comes out in 2004 (if it comes out).I suffer from atypical depression, which is a mix of anxiety and depression. The depression aspect of the disease has worsened severely over the two years.
Thx.

I decided to give a try to Reboxetine because i wasn´t coping with Efexor side effects.
It took a long time to reboxetine to start acting compared to efexor. I do feel anxiety/agitation with this antidepressant, but i do also feel that the depression seems to get worse sometimes but in the next day i recover again. Strange...
With reboxetine i can have a normal sexual life, but my humour is not the as great as it used to be on efexor.
So far it seems i can live on reboxetine.
But i am willing to try another drug that do not have the above mentioned side effects.Joe Vlad
