Right now I am very interested in switching to an SNRI (reboxetine, mirtazapine, nefazadone) possibly in combo with an SSRI. Effexor is not officially classed as an SSRI but actually is one but it also acts on dopamine receptors. My psych calls it a super-SSRI. I took it for three years with the same side effects and results that people get with Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft. I am currently taking Paxil.
I want to try reboxetine but it is not yet available in US. I am willing to try mirtazapine but am worried about whether I will feel sedated during the day. My biggest problem with the SSRI's is terrible sleep at night, major fatigue during the day, and am losing cognitive function.
Reboxetine sounds promising for me at the right dose and if the side effects are managable.
