> Where i found side effects, you could have great results, but you know it as you read this board!
> After 1 month about of rebox trial i can say that i continue to have mood improvement and i am more active and bright.
> The bad news is that, as i have enhance my sex desire (libido), i have noticed during last week that i have became totally impotent (NO erection at all, in any case and in any where!)
> This fact made me completely terrified, even if i know that it should pass after stopping reboxetine.
> I have immediately stopped the trial cause i think that impotence if worse than any depression.
> Now i'm waiting.........that something happends!
> But i'm scared!
> I repeat: this is a side effect happend to me, it is not sure that i could happend to you too, if you begin you rebox trial.
> I will let you know somenting......while i'm praying....
> ByeFriends,
Someone taking Reboxetine found that augmentation with the medicine "Flomax", an alpha-1 receptor noradrenergic blocker, alleviated urinary hesitation and erectile dysfunction.
If you look for medicines that treat Bengign Prostatic Hyperplasia, a lot of them block the alpha-1 noradrenaline receptor.
Reboxetine is a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, it may be hitting that "alpha-1" receptor too hard...a guess.
Checkout Flomax, there may be other meds in the same class. (Search for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).
