I dont see my new pdoc until 1 month from now so i have to try something now. right now i take ativan 3 times a day lowest dose, risperdal .5mg or 5mg, and some l-tyrosine. without risperdal i am livable but feel EXtremely bad. with risperdal the first 4-5 hours of the day are hell and get better later on. overall i think i am better off without it. i certainly need something better. so i plan to stop it tonight.

> i am having trouble finding information on Viloxazine or Vivarint. has anyone taken this? where can i find information? it's supossed to be european i think. is it sedating or stimulating or neighter? i need something in between. i cant stand feeling tired allllllllllllllll day like on zyprexa. and some stimulating meds like prozac and effexor made me feel suicidal mind torture after taking them.

> so please tell me about Viloxazine.hi
viloxazine is, like reboxetine, a noradrenaline-reuptake-inhibitor (NRI or NARI). reboxetine is simply the phenyl-derivative of viloxazine. it is not approved here in austria, but i think it's in use in germany. i remember that the drug-company that sells reboxetin there claimed to market the first NRI, but that wasn't true, because viloxazine was first.
and-i think it can increase the blood-levels of carbamazepine (i'm not absolutely sure about this effect, but i remember there is an interaction with one of the more widely used antiepileptis/mood stabilizers)
hope this helpsmat
