> > > Could it possibly be levofluoxetine? (Fluoxetine is really a mixture of "left-handed" and "right-handed" versions of the molecule (isomers)...some drugs such as Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine (or just d-amphetamine)), Eldepryl (l-selegiline or l-deprenyl), and Redux (d-fenfluramine) only contain one isomer). I think that l-fluoxetine is currently being researched for migraine. (Heard a rumor. :-)
