Reboxetine, atomoxetine/strattera - Sarahk0

Sarah, you might want to discuss Strattera (atomoxetine) with your doctor. Like reboxetine, it is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Unlike reboxetine, Strattera IS available in the U.S. It is an antidepressant that is currently being marketed as a drug for treatment of ADD/ADHD. It just became available this month (January 2003). If you look through some of the posts above and in the archives for the past two weeks, you will find some PB members' comments on it. If your doctor wants to research it, as I mentioned, the generic name is atomoxetine. The generic name was originally tomoxetine, but it was changed to atomoxetine because tomoxetine sounded too much like another drug. Lilly, the company that makes the drug, has a website for it, at www.strattera.com.
