Not likely: I have no personal experience with the new anti-depressant, but I have not read that it has any particular effect on adhd. In the past we have used antidepressants for adhd when the stimulants have failed, still not with a good response. If treatment of adhd is the issue, please see your doctor for more appropriate first line medications (stimulants).

A small study in 40: Adults in 2010 concluded that "reboxetine could be used and tolerated as an effective treatment for adults with adhd." reference: hum psychopharmacol. 2010 nov;25(7-8):570-6. Irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and dry mouth were the common side effects of reboxetine. Best regards.
