NSRIs reuptake inhibitors

Reboxetine is a norepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitor (NSRI). Based on in vitro studies, reboxetine does not block the reuptake of either dopamine or serotonin. 

These selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), fluvoxamine (Luvox), citalopram (Celexa), and, most recently, escitalopram (Lexapro see the appendix). These drugs block the removal of the neurotransmitter serotonin from the synaptic cleft. A number of other antidepressants are potent nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (NSRIs). These include the atypical venlafaxine (Effexor) and the tricyclic clomipramine (Anafra-nil). Nefazodone (Serzone) has been withdrawn from the market due to liver damage. 

Fourth, as an expert in criminal and civil cases, I have studied the lives of many individuals who—under the influence of psychoactive drugs such as SSRIs, nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (NSRIs), and benzodiazepines—have committed acts of aggression that were wholly alien to their character and antithetical to their prior behavior. It is, of course, well known that the illegal use of stimulant drugs, such as meth-amphetamine and cocaine, can be associated with paranoid reactions and violence. 

NSRI Antidepressants. Nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (NSRI)also block the reuptake of norepinephrine. Several of the old tricyclic antidepressants belong in this category. Imipramine and desipramine reduce REM sleep because of the increased norepinephrine levels at postsynaptic receptors caused by reduced reuptake of norepinephrine.
