In reply to Why is Reboxetine apparently ineffective for most?, posted by PhoenixGirl on April 24, 2001, at 16:16:01
>Desipramine is both a dopamine and adrenaline reuptake inhibitor. Reboxetine only effects the adrenaline system. I've read the study. On paper reboxetine looks exciting. In reality (at least on this board) it has an unimpressive track record. If I can find the published study, I will post it for you.
And how can it be distinguished from desipramine, other than it has less anticholinergic side effects? I wonder if getting a good response to desipramine predicts a good response to reboxetine. Because I have a better response to desipramine than to the more serotonergic antidepressants. If anybody knows a good article showing the effectiveness rate of reboxetine in a controlled study, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
