Since the early 1980s, numerous monoamine reuptake inhibitors, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs), and dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), have been developed for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. , Selective SRIs and NRIs such as fluoxetine and reboxetine ( 1 ) have been used to treat symptoms including major depression and anxiety disorders. − Additionally, clinical evidence also suggested that reboxetine may have efficacy in the treatment of chronic pain such as fibromyalgia and chronic low back pain . Atomoxetine ( 2 ), another selective NRI, has been approved for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) .…”
