I'm really sensitive to activating a-ds and so far reboxetine seems fine for me. I'm on 4mg in a split dose and have been for a week. Few very slight side effects - slight dry mouth, slight constipation and occasional waking in the night. I do feel much brighter and will stay on this dose unless I feel the effects lessening after another week or so.
I think it's advisable with any med to go really slowly to start with. Docs tend to whack us on therapeutic doses immediately so you end up with a whole host of side effects to deal with when you're at your lowest. In my experience, some of them can be avoided with a gradual taper on, as well as off. Just as I wouldn't advise anyone to stop suddenly, I wouldn't advise anyone to start abruptly either!
