Atomoxetine is often claimed to be not a stimulant. I find this confusing, however - despite taking weeks to do so, it eventually has the effect of raising noradrenaline (which in turn also raises dopamine), much like the traditional stimulants, and much like them it raises awareness/alertness/awakeness. It's considered useful for narcolepsy as well as ADD/ADHD. So how, exactly, is atomoxetine not a stimulant? Is it possible that the claim of being not a stimulant is marketing from the company who produces it, given how much of a bad reputation stimulants often get?

The Wikipedia article states that Atomoxetine inhibits CYP2D6 and links to source number 4. The linked article [1] however says that the oral administration of Atomoxetine does not inhibit or induce the clearance of other drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 (second to last sentence).

I find it odd that the research section for this drug is quite bare when it could be much more dense. It would be hard to include reliable science that has yet to be strengthened but it should include more information. Regal Kegle ( talk) 17:13, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
The article says that "Unlike stimulant medications, atomoxetine does not have abuse liability or the potential to cause withdrawal effects on abrupt discontinuation." Even though there are a number of anecdotes online about people experiencing withdrawal effects from tapering to a lower amount of atomoxetine (including but not limited to brain shocks that are experienced when tapering SSRI drugs). It seems inaccurrate how the article says there is no potential for withdrawal as if it's a definitive fact, shouldn't it be phrased differently?
The reference this information comes from is a study sponsored by the Lilly the manufacturer, and even they just said there was "no evidence", and with a sample size of 16 people who were all recreational drug users so it was in a specific context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.60.11.75 ( talk) 12:11, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Whywhenwhohow, you keep removing a statement from the first paragraph that is sourced later. I would simply add the <ref>, but there are 4 sources on that statement, and didn't want to have too much in the first paragraph. I do not know the syntax to group references together, but I think one exists. If there is and you know of one, or if it is better to add all 4 references, please let me know.
