It's the energizing drug, no side effects, no sexual side effects, and probably no major weight gain.
Sounds too good to be true?James here....
It is related to the TCA's so don't count on no sexual or weight problems.
All the contraindications of TCA's apply. It sound like it would be a good choice
for me as I am a nor-e person. From http://cebmh.warne.ox.ac.uk/cebmh/nelmh/depression/treatment/other2.html#viloxazine :Viloxazine (Vivalan) is not widely used as an antidepressant, although it
appears to be effective and side-effects appear to be less than with
tricyclics.It should not be used in patients with recent heart attack, with disturbance
of heart rhythm, or with severe liver disease. It should be used carefully in
patients with heart, liver or thyroid disease; epilepsy, phaeochromocytoma,
history of mania, psychosis, closed angle glaucoma, history of urinary
retention, or having current electroconvulsive therapy; in the elderly; and in
women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. It may interact with other
medicines.It should not be used with apraclonidine or brimonidine.
It increases the sedative effects of alcohol.
It may increase the serum level of antiepileptics.
Its side-effects are similar to those of the tricyclic antidepressants,
although sedation, and other side-effects, are milder.People taking viloxazine should not drive or operate machinery if they believe
they may be under the influence of viloxazine.James
