I'm not from US, i live europe, so i don't know if Reboxetine(Edronax) is available
in US.I have tried many antidepressants before, i'ts best medification so far: my main
symptoms for depression was: lack of drive,motivation,constantly tiredness,unable to
enjoy nothing and common hopeless. I'ts kind of stimulating and mind clearing drug.
I'ts effect resembles lot of ephedrine. I take 2x4mg tablets a day and been taking
it 6 weeks now. I began notice side-effects almost immediately i started it, they
were: sweating, mild nausea, feeling of high bloodpressure, gold shiwers all over
body. But they were not that bad like they sounds, and they gone away pretty soon,
longest last: sweating, about two weeks. But i was not soaking wet all the time,
only if i do something physical or it was hot weather.Now i don't notice any of
side effects, maybe its hard to fell a sleep sometimes, but thats fine because i
was so tired before and required lot of sleep.I'ts nice feeling to feel
active and fresh and not tired,i hated medications which make me tired and
sleepy because i was tired allready. Sorry about this babling, hope you get
answers..
