> Reboxetine is a NARI (Noradrenergic Reuptake Inhibitor). It prevents the reuptake of norepinephrine, and is very selective indoing so (it has no effect on serotonin, maybe a small positive effect on dopamine).

> The norepinephrine system is related to energy, reward, drive , and motivation. My own experiences with Reboxetine seem to back this up. Side effects are the anti-cholinergic ones (constipation, dysuria, retrograde ejaculation) and insomnia. As always, YMMV.

> BruceI have been on rebox for more than three months, and for me, almost everything Bruce says holds true - the energy, drive, etc. Fortunatley for me, I am luckier than Bruce and some others when it comes to side effects. I never experienced any insomnia or constipation at all, and the dysuria and sex problems have diminished to very tolerable levels. At first, however, they were awful.
Good luck,
Luke
