In reply to Reboxetine (not approved in U.S.? FDA blows!), posted by McPac on June 19, 2003, at 2:27:41
> Been reading a lot about Reboxetine. Sounds VERY good. I suppose THAT is the reason that the pharmaceutical company-controlled FDA declined it's U.S. approval (I read that NO reason was given why).....puleeeeeze! translation, it wasn't approved because many ssri patients would have switched! These pharm. co's will protect their turf and do whatever they can to keep better drugs being approved.
I understand your frustration with the FDA but these ssri conspiracy theories are really not plausible. Reboxetine is owned by Pharmacia, which is a pharmaceutical company. So, the "pharmaceutical company controlled FDA" in your theory is also controlled by Pharmacia. Pharmacia gets a lot of drugs approved, ie xanax, so why do you think that Pharmacia, a pharmaceutical company, would not want its own drug approved????
Anyway, Straterra is the same type of drug as Reboxetine, a NARI. Try that if you want to try reboxetine.
