Esreboxetine was developed by Pfizer for the treatment of neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia. It failed to show significant benefit over currently available medications and was discontinued.[1][3][4][5] A subsequent 2012 study (n=277) found esreboxetine gave significant reductions in pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients.[6]
