Hmmm, I'm not very good at giving emotional support to other people, but I hope it helps to know I've had the same experience myself.............. I was actually attacked by my psychiatrist's secretary one day - she slammed the door against my ankles as I was leaving. Then there's my GP's partner who thinks people should "just learn to live with it".
'Care' can be truly appalling on the NHS if you get landed with an unsympathetic doctor, but I guess that's what we have to put up with for getting 'free at the point of delivery' medical treatment in the UK.
Have you thought about coming off the reboxetine Ines? I stuck it out for three months and ruined a whole summer because of it. It was a relief to be free of all that nervous tension again - it was so powerful it was even stopping my benzos (4mg clonazepam) from working. If you get really desperate I suggest buying a packet of Solpadine Max/Nurofen Plus tablets - the codeine in them will lift your mood and soothe anxiety faster than any prescription antidepressant.
Hang in there Ines, we're all rooting for you.
