Reboxetine - anyone else?

Hello,

I've been taking reboxetine for about three weeks now, and was wondering if anyone else had had any experience with it? I was trundling along alright until today, but since I got up this morning I've felt horrible, alternating between weepy/empty and being full of anger/impatience/snide remarks. I'm catching myself letting my mind wander to events in my past and going through them over and over, almost reliving them in a way, which only adds to my irritability. My sleep has been all over the place (no change there), again it's so up and down, one minute I'm utterly spent, exhausted, the next I'm wide awake and wanting to do something, anything, now.

Thanks for reading all this.

I was on it about 5 years ago, because all the other AD's I tried didn't work/had hideous side effects etc. (I'm just about to start a new thread about that).
It made me very angry and irritable and I noticed I was screaming at other drivers when I was out in the car which is unknown for me. I'm normally quite placid - my long term depression has taken all the get up and go out of me.
I didn't think the anger was connected to the tablet, but I also kept waking up with my heart pounding in my chest. So went back to the doc who did think it was a side effect, along with the racing heart, and took me off it immediately.
Go back to your GP.
