> Anna - That's actually good to hear. I switched from effexor to rebox. after effexor started making me want to eat all the time. Effexor worked really well - only at 150mg until the eating began. I've tried other SSRI's that didn't work so I thought the rebox (being only an NRI) would maybe do what effexor did without craving carbohydrates. After 6 days, on rebox. I lost the confident happy feeling that effexor gave me. I did a pretty quick switch, though, tapering off effexor while starting the rebox.. I think I'm going to stick to the effexor until the summer when I naturally feel better and then maybe try the rebox. again. But, in the meantime, I might try the rebox. with it to keep my energy up. How do you deal with the insomnia and constipation? Thanks for your response. I look forward to hearing more!!
Hello Jess,
I'm butting in here, please excuse me. I've been on 12mg reboxetine for a while now and the only remaining side-effects [that I'm aware of] are the constipation and excess sweating. I don't think I've gained any weight on it.
I tried sennekot and fybolgel for the const but they didn't do a thing. I now take movicol which does get things moving.
HTH,pete.
