You're kidding, right? I haven't even added a "Metabolism" section, or explained what the significance of anything was in the "Mechanism of Action" section, especially that last sentence (You see, this Lloyd KG person believed that antidepressants worked through GABA (see PMID 2664889 for details)). However, I would like to see separate sections for Off- and On-Label use become commonplace.--Rmky87 06:23, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I was referring to your laudable use of referencing. Your article on Viloxazine has 21 refs. as opposed to, for example, ~3 for Venlaflaxine. In my mind referencing is EXTREMELY important on a project such as Wikipedia. Graciously take a compliment.

[edit] Viloxazine is not a bicyclic compound.

In order to be classified as a polycyclic (in this case, bicyclic) compound, the molecule should contain two or more rings fused; the fact, that the molecule consist of one substitued benzene ring and one morpholine heterocylcic ring, linked by an aliphatic/etheric chain, does not mean it's bicyclic. Bicyclic would be, of antidepressant drugs the substances nomifensine or sertraline, for example. Violoxazine could be decribed as a heterocyclic compound, if one wants to be specific on its chemistry.--Spiperon 00:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC) You can put it up for CfD, then. Suffice it to say that I was young and stupid.--Rmky87 18:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Neither do I think this article should be deleted, nor that you was stupid; a non-(organic)-chemist can easily confuse polycyclism because of the overall number of rings in the molecule; I suggest simply to change its description from bicyclic to heterocyclic.--Spiperon 01:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

The chemical structure of Viloxazine is incorrect: the oxygen and the methylene group have to be switched (there is no acetal in Viloxazine). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.193.84.231 (talk) 09:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
