What is "viloxazine"

n. A bicyclic antidepressant, a morpholine derivative that acts as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.

Viloxazine (Vivalan, Emovit, Vivarint, Vicilan) is a morpholine derivative and is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI). It was used as an antidepressant in some European countries, and produced a stimulant effect that is similar to the amphetamines, except without any signs of dependence. It was discovered and brought to market in 1976 by Imperial Chemical Industries and was withdrawn from the market in the early 2000s for business reasons.
