Hi Snapper!

Regarding reboxetine...

> It is alive and is considered an SNRI

That was its original designation until it was usurped by authors who wanted to use it to name drugs like Effexor and Cymbalta. Now reboxetine is called a NARI.

SNRI (Old) = Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor

SNRI (New) = Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor

NARI = Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor

Of course, "noradrenaline" is a term used primarily in the UK, while "norepinephrine" is the term favored in the US. I wonder what would happen if a NARI were to come to market in the US. Would we then have a NERI?
