The reboxetine 6 mg (3 weeks) is too stimulating for me. I am nervous all the time (increased heart rate and slepp probs) and have urogenital probs (impotence and a little urinary retention). Are this side effects fading away ? I suffer from melancholic mood and the reboxetine worked very quickly and pooped out after 3 weeks (placebo effect ?).
At the time I think more to ad something more calming like Remeron or Paxil. Effexor is stimulating to (at low ore higer doses ?).
I had a short trial with Remeron 7.5 mg to 60 mg Celexa but I gave it up cause of too much sedation and feelings of weakness. Perhaps the dose was too low ?
