It's one of those drugs that looks great on paper, but in the world doesn't work out very well for many people. At this board anyway. I tried it and hated it.

> Johnhi john. Reboxetine certainly does look great on paper. That is the main appeal for me. I have read how in studies it has turned out better for severely depressed people than prozac. But I will most likely go with Wellbutrin next. I am strongly considering it. Prozac I will deffinetly add to my list of things to try if I dont get desirable results. I just hope that wont be the case and that the wellbutrin will be all I need. perhaps I should do some more research on prozac soon. if in the future it comes to me trying prozac and it works well but not well enough then zyprexa i will deffinetly add to it.
as i stop my paxil i hope i wont return to the state of horror as i was in previously. i guess i will see. yesterday i took 9mg of paxil and today i will even less. no difference i feel in myself yet.
something i have really wondered about before. 9 and 10 days on the paxil i was beginning to feel so much better. and on day 11 i was actually able to be really excited about being with my fiance. things were getting so much better. but then on day 12 and 13 it went significantly down. really down. and it stayed that way and then it improved very slightly. i dunno if it was an up period or maybe the paxil had some strong effect at that time. if it was the paxil i wish that effect had stayed or returned because as it is now i dont feel too well at all. oh well.
thanks for replying. take care.
