What sort of antidepressants have helped you in the past? What were you on before Reboxetine? I ask because, as you probably know, Reboxetine is a norepineprhine reuptake inhibitor, so I wondered whether you had a good response to noradrenergic medications (desipramine/norpramin, maprotiline/ludiomil, bupropion/wellbutrin, stimulants, etc) in the past. If you have done well on some of the medicines I mentioned, then I think there might be hope for reboxetine yet. I don't know what country you live in, but here in the United States, it's difficult to get ahold of reboxetine because it's not FDA-approved, so I think that if you're in the U.S. and your doctor and you went to the trouble to get it from overseas, your doctor must have had a good reason for prescribing it. As long as you're not endangering your health (for example, as long as your blood pressure and heart rate are within normal limits, etc.), it might be worth persevering a bit longer.
