I have tried Reboxetine, similar to Strattera, and Ivex. Reboxetine, and I assume Strattera would too, made me much more depressed immediately, along with sexual organs that tightened up and shriveled up and urinary difficulties. Ivex was the first med in maybe a dozen where it actually felt good beginning as early as day 2. No worsening, which is unusual for me. But alas, as with anything with some norepinephrine action, in a few days I could hardly pee. That is not a common side effect, but one that does happen enough to be listed.
Ivex felt to me like it did something more than a simple norepinephrine/serotonin reuptake thing. It had more of a mood lift thing I would relate to Ritalin or marijuana or something. It felt like it somehow had a domaminergic thing going on, even though it supposedly doesn't.
