In reply to Reboxetine side effects: Very bad news! » mat, posted by JGm on May 2, 2002, at 7:02:42
I'm sorry to hear about that side effect.
I am a female, and I was taking reboxetine (8mg/day) for a month to treat my OCD, depression, and anxiety. I found that it IMMEDIATLELY (the day after I took it) started to help my depression -- though the main antidepressive weeks did not kick in until two more weeks into my treatment.
I had almost NO side effects! (And I have taken Prozac/fluoxetine, Effexor/venlafaxine, and Remeron/mirtazapine, all of which I found had unpleasant side effects -- especially loss of libido and inability to orgasm, with the first two drugs) I was THRILLED to have no negative sexual effects for once, and in fact my libido was slightly increased (which was fine with me!).
I did experience this weird sneezing thing -- almost like mild allergic symptoms -- which started a few weeks into treatment, and disappeared after I went off the rebexetine. It was slightly annoying, but not terribly bothersome.
I'm now on tianeptine but as I've waited a month with no positive effects (NOTHING in fact...sometimes I wonder if they are sugar pills), I am going off it...what to try next?
