In reply to Re: Lofepramine (Gamonil / Lomont) any experiences ? » ben, posted by lizzyg on May 9, 2002, at 9:11:18

I found it worked very well - alleviated symptoms pretty quickly, and was neither stimulating nor sedating so I didn't feel medicated. The only real side effect was increased flushing (this was in my younger days, however, and I seem to have become more med sensitive in the past few years).

Thanks for your repliesI am treatment resistent, tried a lot and looking for some options. I tried Edronax (Reboxetine) which acts on noradrenaline with only little benefit and had to come off it because of side effects ! Lofepramine is similar to desipramine so its perhaps similar to Edronax ?!
