Hi Neal.

Someone mentioned this in a previous thread. This is news to me.
Duloxetine is a SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor). It inhibits the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine.
When I first heard about duloxetine a number of years ago, I was looking forward to seeing its development. However, my unreliable memory recalls encountering something on Medline that gave me the impression that it is not a very promising compound for treating depression. I hope they were wrong.
