In reply to wellbutrin and reboxetine: Stomach aches, posted by pedr on March 27, 2003, at 6:01:42
> > Pete, that's nice to hear that has worked for you-haven't seen one of your posts in awhile. Just a quick question or two-what doses of WB/Rebox are you on and what does REBT stand for and could you summarize what it is? Thanks in advance!

> Ritch, sorry for the delay in replying and yes, it's been a while since I PB'd :0]

> To answer your questions I'm on 8mg rebox and 300mg wellbutrin daily. They both gave me serious side-effects when I started them (rebox made me obsess suicidally for 2 weeks solid and zyban made everything look super-bright so I had to wear shades 24/7 ! :0] ) but now it's just the usual gastrointestinal probs.

> REBT stands for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. Don't be put off by the somewhat flowery name of this therapy, it really is very practical, down-to-earth, logical and powerful. As I say, I liked CBT but it just didn't get to grips with my problems. REBT really gets to the root of things and uses logic to convince you to change your thinking. I cannot recommend it highly enough. For a good introduction go for any Windy Dryden book by Sheldon Press e.g. How to Accept Yourself, Overcoming Anger, Overcoming Anxiety.

> Ritch, (&anyone else) if you have any more REBT questions please don't hesistate to ask. I endeavour to refrain from excessively singing its praises as I may come across like some kind of fanatic and put people off!

> Cheers & all the best,
> pete.Thanks for the response! I went to Amazon and checked out some things and went off on a tangent and found another interesting book: "Following Through" that relates to some of my troubles.
