In reply to Motivation/no energy - is Reboxetine good choice?, posted by btnd on November 1, 2003, at 13:35:55
> I'm trying to find the perfect med to augment my Amisulpride regime and boost motivation and energy. I've just read a lot about Reboxetine, seems like a good choice. What do you think? And what are your experiences with it?
Hi Brad.Amineptine makes the perfect complement to amisulpride. I guess you know that by now.
I had a bad experience with reboxetine. It made me much, much worse. It put me in a state of anxious suicidality. I tried to work up to 8mg. The suicidality was very pronounced and dangerous. Within 36 hours of discontinuing the reboxetine, the emergency resolved completely. Of course, for some people, it is probably a wonder drug. Generally, reboxetine has been unimpressive as an antidepressant. It's manufacturer could not get it approved in the US because the clinical trials yielded poor results.
Yes, I think reboxetine is a reasonable choice if you are looking for something energizing. You won't know until you try.
What about adding Provigil (modafinil)?
