In reply to relapse on long-term reboxetine, posted by NealP on October 27, 2004, at 6:38:29
Ususally when an antidepressant works for a long time, and then becomes less effective, a dose increase is all that is needed. But I guess you or your doc had a reason not to do that.
> I've remained well on reboxetine (Edronax, a selective NRI) since January 2002. Over the past month I've experienced "breakthrough" depression, which is distressing after being well for so relatively long. I had also been on carbamazepine but decided to come off in April because it caused slight nausea and diziness and I'd never been manic. I did seem to miss some of its sedative effects with slightly more disturbed sleep before crashing in September.
