In reply to High levels of noradrenaline, posted by Robert Fairburn on September 25, 2003, at 14:10:11
> I have just had a blood test which showed that I have higher levels than normal for noradrenaline. At present I am taking effexor (16 days) and I am feeling very agitated, which makes me feel depressed. The question that I have is if I have high levels of noradrenaline wouldn't these levels be further increased by effexor which would explain my agitation.
Yes, I would agree with this. But 16 days into
taking an AD, things will be way off as your
neurochemistry needs about a month to readjust.
It is not uncommon to feel agitated at first and
it takes 6-8 weeks for an AD to kick in. Retest at that point.
