my reboxetine experience...

Posted by torchgrl on November 15, 1999, at 18:33:10

I've only been on it one week, and I've only noticed a couple of side-effects... The first couple of nights were an absolute nightmare of sleeplessness and bizarre hot/cold flashes--I was seriously considering that I had some other major disease (like malaria!). That calmed down by night 3, although I'm still waking up in the middle of the night once or twice, and waking up early, which for me is a miracle. I'm sure people are wondering why I'm actually early for work! I also noticed that I don't have much of an appetite, which is also appreciated. My mood is a tiny bit better, I think... I actually initiated going out last night, which I haven't done in about 6 months, so the reboxetine must be doing *something* good. I'm hoping the sleep evens out a bit more, but otherwise it's looking promising...

The insomnia will ease up soon. Don't worry. I've been
on this stuff for five months and it's well worth it. The
only thing bad is constipation. Other than that, it's a lot
better than Prozac.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the encouragement, Jen! While it's nice being able to get to work on time, it's tiring in itself waking up every couple of hours during the night. I still feel like it should be helping more, but I'm going to give it more time, and possibly a doseage increase in the next week or two...

Torchgrl and Jen:

Have you noticed any sexual side/other effects on reboxetine?

Jon,
I haven't noticed any sexual effect one way or the other, unfortunately. I just upped my dose today, so we'll see if that does it...

Jon,

No sexual side effects whatsoever! This for me is way better than prozac which gave me total anorgasmia. I'm augmenting with B6 to
help with PMS ...we shall see if it works.
