In reply to Who has bought Reboxetine from foreign pharmacies?, posted by PhoenixGirl on April 21, 2001, at 10:48:08
> I would like to try this med, so I want to hear from people who have bought it. I live in the U.S., and it's not available here. Please tell me what your experience has been with particular pharmacies. I want to find out which are reliable, and which are not. The pharmacy I want would send the Reboxetine quickly, have the drug really be Reboxetine and not a fake. Thank you.
I purchased Reboxetine from a foreign mailorder pharmacy. I did not at all like the drug though. It immediately handed me more depression, ringing in the ears, and the same anticholinergic effects that might be expected from a tricyclic (dry mouth, impotence, difficult and frequent urination). I discovered that merely increasing norepinephrine was the absolute wrong thing to do for me. Instead, I discovered that helping existing norepinephrine work better was the way to go. Adrafinil did that. It's just my opinion, but Adrafinil is a million times better than Reboxetine. It seems to work best as part of a cocktail rather than alone. It goes real well with the SSRIs and/or the antipyschotics.
It took me years and years to land on my current cocktail which works very well. It is Prozac+Adrafinil, plus Zyprexa at bedtime. Reboxetine was just one of many losers along the journey, though I have to admit it was one of the worst duds, not just merely a dud.
