Atomoxetine was originally named tomoxetine and was first developed as an antidepressant. It will probably make a good one too. However, Eli Lilly realized that it could launch a coup over the rest of the pharmaceutical industry by getting it approved as the first non-controlled, non-stimulant treatment for ADD/ADHD. Atomoxetine is probably nothing like reboxetine, a drug that I think is generally inferior to the majority of antidepressants. Atomoxetine should be a great tool for depression, even if only as an adjunct.
