REboxetine wasn't even approved in the US because it wasn't regarded as effective, but desipramine is an effective AD and they are all NRIs. Its weird there is such a huge difference in efficacy for depression among selective NRIs but not among SSRIs.

From what I have seen anecdotally on Psycho-Babble - including my own little story - reboxetine is a member of the latter....although I'm sure that for some, it is a miracle drug. I would not be in favor of preventing its continued availability. I guess it is all a matter of relative absolutes.
