Is there a best time to take Reboxatine??

Posted by NikkiT2 on October 7, 2003, at 6:43:48

I've just been prescribed Reboxatine (starting at 4mg for 3 weeks), and was wondering if theres a good time of day to take this??

Is it sedating, or is it energising or anything like that??

Thanks all

Nikki

Hi Nikki,

Were you on Zyprexa before or is my brain so fried that I got confused again?! If you were, how was the w/drawal?

To answer your question...From the literature I've read on Reboxetine it is more activating than sedating. I believe it possesses a short half-life (don't qoute me). But I do know insomnia is reported among one of it's common s/effects. I would take your dose no later than 3pm...at least until you see what it does to you.

If you are taking a single daily dose (which seems strange if it has a short half life, but, like I said, I could be wrong) I'd take it just in the AM.

I have heard a lot of great things about this drug...one poster said it was brilliant, and I have rarely heard bad things about it.

Let us know how you go!

Ace.
