The fact that is has been discontinued in some markets is because it has lost its licence in them. It is a 3rd generation Tricyclic Antidepressant from 1983 so it is inevitably going to be overtaken by newer drugs.

However its effects are similar to Amytriptiline, which is very good for Neuralgia. Only I refused to take this because it makes me too drowsy, so this is a similar medicine without such levels of drowsiness.

It is a stronger reuptake inhibitor of Norepinephrine and is less sedative.
