sorry guyz, to all that were following, but reboxetine was just to hectic for me, the flu like symptoms, the hot flashes, the coldness, the shrinkage of my 'extremeties' the mood swings. agitation and eventually suicidal ideation had to be stopped, it was getin progressively worse.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT THIS MEDICATION WOULD WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE WITH A MORE STABLE MENTALITY, BUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE BORDERLINE, CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE.
The activating effects of this medication were very evident, it did improve my mood towards gonig out from anxiety to acceptance and comfotability (apart from the above side effects that i experienced) the only reason this med was not right for me was because im way to unstable and constantly on edge.
To anyone interested in this NARI, i openly promote it to people who are allready functioning ok. it helps with energy and motivation. I just couldnt wait around for some serontinergenic effects to start.
Me and my dr have discussed many options and i have agreed to go back onto efexor xr. The only reason i stopped last time was the nausia and vomiting and dizzyness. i just dont think i was really giving it a chance. but this time i will be.
I am quite happy to continue posting on my efexor progress if anyone is interested. just let me know and ill keep doing daily postings on my progress. I have been perscribed 75mg of Efexor Xr. I will be stayin on this dose as i dont tolerate nausia well.
Thanks to everyone for their support on this reboxetine experiment...
BOTTOM LINE:
I dont recommended reboxetine for Borderline Personalities, or people with severe depression.
I recommend this med for people allready on the road to recovery who suffer melancholic depression or social anxiety and need some extra energy/motivation.
