I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to answer your question. Since they are both NRIs, it would seem logical. However, my personal experience with Strattera is that it is useless. It was originally marketed as an antidepressant. However, when shown to be impotent, it was remarketed as a stimulant. If Reboxetine actually works for depression, an INeffective antidepressant from the same family wouldn't do as a substitute.

Either they are not approved by the FDA or they include a stimulant that Shrinks will not prescribe.
