In reply to Strattera vs. Desipramine, posted by mrsmith on November 30, 2007, at 14:43:39
I've tried reboxetine before. Like Strattera its a new-ish non-tricyclic NRI. I've also used the tricyclic lofepramine, which metabolizes into desipramine.
Although 'activating', reboxetine had very little mood-lifting effects. Lofepramine on the other hand lifted my mood very well. In fact, I think both lofepramine & desipramine also have mild SRI effects too. They're not just NRIs. Maybe this explains thier superiority as antidepressants.
