In reply to Re: Reboxetine - new drug prescribed for me, posted by Ynot on July 6, 2003, at 3:52:10
> I have been prescribed Reboxitine as of the 3/7/2003. I am male and 38 years of age. This is in conjunction with a maximum dose of seroxat (50mg). After reading all the threads, I have decided to keep a day by day account of my useage of reboxatine, and will post it on this notice board if thats ok.This might help others who are new to this drug.
> day 1 : one dose of 4mg taken in conjunction with seroxat 50mg.> effects: at the start i noticed a "discomfort" with urinating. i call it the "dribble" effect.Beware new users of making sure all urine has passed out of the urethra before zipping up, as I found it could lead to errmm wet marks on trousers. Exciteability - I was more excited and agitated (in a good way). Sexual activities :I found on trying to have sex that a feeling of erectile dysfunction was present, but perserverance paid off.A BIG thing i noticed was at the point of climax, the effect of climaxing was much more heightened, to the point of ecstatic. But I also noticed that whereas a male climaxes with sperm ejaculation combined with a feeling of euphoria, my sperm was released roughly three to five seconds prior to feeling of euphoria.This resulted in a "delayed" and "longer" feeling of euphoria. A second attempt at sex two days later produced exactly the same response.
> Dry Mouth:this is a very unpleasant side effect I have with reboxetine, but one I can live with.
> Sweating: I also had profuse sweating.
> Insomnia: no problems with insomnia
> General feelings after one weeks use : Reboxetine combined with Seroxat has definitely made me feel "perky". I can feel a marked difference in how I feel and how I approach people. I feel that I "want" to do more.
> I will keep you updated with the results of week two.

> ps:My last paragraph sounds like a real dampner on things, but I understand what lengths depressed people may go to to try and get "better". I know I have been there too.Ynot,
I would love to know how you do on this drug! I've been gathering info on it for a while, don't know anyone who's taking it.I take Effexor XR and recently increased from 150 to 300mg. I don't feel that much better and I'm blowing up like a balloon! 3 more pounds this weekend! I see my doc next week, so I'm hoping to have all the good info I can for her. I've already decreased my dose back to 150. Oh, I take it for anxiety and panic, along with depression.
Thanks!
