> Well, if you like conspiracy theories, here's one: Eli Lilly, the company behind Prozac, has made a drug called tomoxetine. It is very similar chemically to reboxetine, and it is also a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. Maybe the FDA is delaying reboxetine so Lilly can get their drug out on the market before P&U.I agree. I read the article that says people in the US are devoid of good medications because of the existing companies who want to maximize their profit, and this is horrible...
