> There is a French antidepressant called viloxazine that looks interesting. It is similar to TCAs, but without anticholinergic side effects and no sedation. And it actually boosts libido, though anorgasmia is listed as a "rare" side effect. It must be rather activating, because I've seen it mentioned in narcolepsy as well as retarded apathetic depression. Common side effects are transient insomnia and nausea.

i actually did feel somewhat sedated after a couple of weeks on it, didn't notice any other side effects other than occasional headaches. i've considered trying it again, maybe i didn't give it enough time, who knows? one thing i seem to recall is that it didn't seem to stack up to well in studies, my impression is thatit never made it into wide-spread use because it wasn't a very effective drug.
