.Esentially they do market the two -to a degree an sri plus reboxetine, but I don't think that is where the synergisim is connected- I think it's something within the compound of efx. itself and at higher doses etc, it effects in ascending order -low to med.=NE then middle dose SE+NE then 225 to 375 and above SE+NE and some dopamine!! We definitely need more options!
