Thankyou Ed and SLS
To be honest I feel very freaked out about trying anything now.
Ed,
The Reboxetine had an effect on strong running efforts in particular. I could not get my heart rate up sufficiently. In the first few days I ran 40sec faster over an 8k course by the end of the 2 wks I was running 1.5minutes slower. This is a huge difference in competitive running.
According to some sudies including: http://www.reboxetine.com/anticholinergic.html'Reboxetine increased heart rate and blood pressure and reduced the HF power of RRI and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) plasma concentrations.'
Since I have come off the reboxetine my heart rate seemed v easily set off by adrenaline - not under social stress. It seems to be slowly returning to normal. I am also running better now.
Wanting to run well may seem greedy but I have found it helps so much to keep depression at bay and gives me something tangible to look forward to, plan, dream about and to distract...not to mention the health benefits.
I have decided to take the pikers route and find another job. Avoidance? I'll stick with the Propranolol and wait until the sting of another failed drug fades.
.
Thankyou both
Sabre
PS Ed, The pain is mainly in my heels and trigger driven headaches..it's coming back slowly
