I have been to see my therapist today and they said i am having a bad reaction to them, so they are putting me on Diazapam for a couple of weeks until my symptoms calm down. Fingers crossed they will help. :'(

At least none of them are dangerous. This link tells you just about everything about Reboxetine. Section 4.8 on side effects would probably be of most interest.
