I've just been prescribed Reboxatine (starting at 4mg for 3 weeks), and was wondering if theres a good time of day to take this??
Is it sedating, or is it energising or anything like that??
Thanks all
Nikki

> NikkiHi Nikki,
Were you on Zyprexa before or is my brain so fried that I got confused again?! If you were, how was the w/drawal?
To answer your question...From the literature I've read on Reboxetine it is more activating than sedating. I believe it possesses a short half-life (don't qoute me). But I do know insomnia is reported among one of it's common s/effects. I would take your dose no later than 3pm...at least until you see what it does to you.
If you are taking a single daily dose (which seems strange if it has a short half life, but, like I said, I could be wrong) I'd take it just in the AM.
I have heard a lot of great things about this drug...one poster said it was brilliant, and I have rarely heard bad things about it.
Let us know how you go!
Ace.
