In reply to Reboxetine vs. Wellbutrin, posted by anita on May 30, 2000, at 20:40:24
Anita,
Start reboxetine at 4 mgs. for 12 days. If side effects are only minor, go to 8 mgs. This is the standard dosage. After 3 weeks at 8 mgs, dosage may be increased to 10 mgs. if needed. Do not exceed 12 mgs. If you encounter significant side effects at 4 or 10 mgs., cut dosage in half, and remain at the lower dcosage until you are nearly side effect free and go up gradually. If agitation is a problem, SSRis can be combined with reboxetine.
I took wellbutrin for 8 weeks. Nice energy at first but after 4 weeks anxiety and agitation built up. I now take reboxetine and experience no increased anxiety or agitation. Your experience of course may be different.
If you do decide to take rebox., with a prescript. it may be purchased at half price from Farmacia Cerati (www.farmaciacerati.com). Super service!
