What is Norepinephrine?


Norepinephrine is one of the 3 main chemicals in our brain that are responsible for mood.

If Norepinephrine (NE) is low, it can also lead to a decrease in the ability to focus. Medications like Strattera (Atomoxetine) can replace NE if the natural levels in the brain are low and lead to an increase in focus and concentration. Talk to your psychiatrist for further detailed information about Norepinephrine.
