What is reboxetine?
I never noticed the increased depression unil I started and stopped Straterra. I was mildly depressed when I started it and had a lot of anxiety, so it would have been hard to pinpoint anything. I guess I need to tell my doctor about the straterra experiment I did on myself while depesperate to help my insomnia.
I feel a little silly because I know very well I should be starting and stopping meds like that. Maybe the increase in depression is just from the fact that my brain chemicals got seriously out of balance when I abruptly when on and off. I know that it did help with concentration when I first began it, but really not sure that it does anymore.
And, unfortunately due to my lack of sleep, anxiety, and depression, my concentration and study habits are just not up to par. I've done fairly well so far, but bombed a couple exams at school. There's not much leeway. I might get kicked out. I was considering leaving anyway, but not for academic reasons. Sucks when you have to give up a former passion. :(
