In reply to be careful with roboxetine!!!!, posted by krista on October 9, 2001, at 12:09:53
> If you have depression that is also plauged with occasional agitation or anxiety, I would be VERY careful with the Roboxetine. I only took it for 2 days It made me completly mental. I could not hold still was very agitated and anxious. And one of the nights I took it I ended up screaming like a crazed person in the middle of the street at 2:00 in the morning. I then proceeded to run down the street and spend the rest of the night hiding in the bushes. This is something I had NEVER done before before taking it and something I haven't done since. It also lead to severe thoughts of suicide and frustration. I have heard it works ok for people who have fatigued depression (only) who need a boost of energy. My depression however alternates between extreme fatigue and occaissional irratibily and anxiety. just wanted to warn those trying Roboxetine (vestra) to be very careful! It almost cost me my life!
Rebox aggggghhh! anger.
First 3 days shouting abusive then stopped taking it. Pdoc couldn't understand why it had this effect so he insisted I'd try again so I did.
Another 3 days of hell then I calmed down a bit but couldn't go out without getting angry at the world.
Aquired some xtreme obbsessive compulsions about cleanliness, contamination etc and night sweats and bad dreams for 1.5 years I eventually made the desision to quit and discovered it was making me more tired and my poor heart was in constant overdrive.
Now feel much better. Docs sometimes don't listen well mine didn't anyway.dreamer lab rat.
