It might be worth a try.Be aware that as a dual action med, it also effects noriepi and if you are proned to anxiety issues, this effect can sometimes be profound, especially on startup.
I did try it but was intolerant of the re-emergence of anxiety symptoms and panic. BUT (always the disclaimer) everyone is different and it might turn out to be great for you - something you won't know unless you trial it. I suggest if you do speak with your doc about it, you discuss options to help with the startup anxiety if you think that could be a problem for you - getting good control of that may make the difference between a fair chance to see what it could do for you and it being a bust even before you really know it's effect for you.
Let us know...
