In reply to Study: Reboxetine found ineffective,may be harmful, posted by jrbecker76 on October 12, 2010, at 18:24:12
jrbecker this is not directed at you in anyway, it's one of many MAJOR flaws in the article. I will never understand how these things get published without proper research from the journalist.
Quote from article, "Reboxetine is one of the first in a class of anti-depressant drugs called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs." Totally wrong
Reboxetine is not an SSRI, it's an NRI and has NOTHING to do with serotonin. (from wiki)- reboxetine is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI); it does not inhibit the reuptake of serotonin.
I get so angry at the people who write these articles and have very important information completely wrong.
I took reboxetine for a while, it is known to poop out quickly if it works for you and it did for me. I stayed on it for 3 months and had some very unpleasant side effects from it but it lifted me out of a black hole so I put up with it. It's not an ineffective drug either. It just doesn't work for some people.
