Lightbulb our FDA

refused to pass this drug in the US in 2001.
There are no papers on reboxetine regenerating nerves on PubMed.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...ubmed_RVDocSum

It has alot of side effects.

But it is available in Europe and Canada.

The claim for nerve regen? I don't know. SSRIs here
actually kill neurons, and cause some new ones to grow in the CNS. But I don't think that function is active in the periphery.

It is a nor-epi reuptake inhibitor and similar to some actions of
Effexor and Cymbalta.
