Nikki,I think I know a little bit about what you are
going through. I just had a trial of zoloft. It
was the most horrible experience I've ever
suffered through as a result of adverse reaction
to an antidepressant. I got extremely anxious,
but I was informed that this would subside as I
had adapted to the medication. But it didn't get
better. I started to get pannicky and much more
depressed, almost demobilized. One night I woke
up at 3:00 AM and started to have a breif
psycotic episode. I said to hell with this and
stopped taking it cold turkey. I felt better
each day for about a week. After that my normal
depression doesn't seem quite as bad. If I were
you I would get off the Reboxitine and stay off
to see if you start feeling better. Don't put
yourself through that hell no matter what your
doctor says.I think it is strange how differently these meds
Can effect each of us. I tried Reboxitine about a
year ago. I got it from a mail order pharmacy
in Europe. I hated it. Unlike most people I got
very lethargic on it. I like to go on walks
everyday and lift weights a little to keep my
weight down, this has always been hard for me,
but when I was on Reboxitine I just
couldn't make myself exercise at all. Also I
couldn't urinate. It was physically one of the
most uncomfortable experences I've ever had. It
still wasn't as bad as the Zoloft and it wasn't
as bad as what you are experiencing on Reboxitine.
But like I said, we all react differently to
these meds. Again, get off of it for at least a
week before it gets worse, then see how you feel.Vince
