Without getting into a "poor me" thing, I do see that many are not so severely ill as I am. Less pain. More function (although I know my writing seems to contradict this). I also see that many have better prospects than I do, simply for not having had such a long history of treatment failures. That these neighbors of ours may not understand things from these perspectives, I feel the need to share them because I may have already struggled through the same rough terrain that they are currently encountering for the first time.

I think that the very next thing I will do is to finish composing my acknowledgment to these replies and follow-up on the questions asked. I just wanted to get my rocks off by writing all of this other stuff first.

Dear Scott, I had had a similar experience with reboxetine. I hadn't wanted to say anything before as eyeryone is different and as you were so excited at the prospect of taking it, I didn't want to be the one to throw cold water. My doc. got angry with me for stopping after 4 days. He thought that the fact that I was reacting to something even -vely was a good sign. I just replied that with 2 children there was no way I could continue to feel that bad. Good Luck Jan
