Well, yes.. that is the ACUTE reaction to increased norepinephrine. And in the first few weeks of treatment with Reboxetine, one might experienced increased anxiety. However... the adrenergic system downregulates in response to this increased NE... and after a few weeks, overall stress is DECREASED. That is the theory, anyway.
