What are the potential reasons for the black market demand for atomoxetine?

Label:chem

Topic
Atomoxetine is a selective inhibitor of the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter and does not produce the "high" associated with stimulants. It is generally considered safe but has some side effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Answer
Possible reasons for black market demand include its use for cognitive enhancement by non-ADHD populations, its potential as a party drug for its noradrenergic effects, its off-label uses for treating conditions like obesity and eating disorders, and its synergistic effects with other substances like caffeine. Some individuals might also be unaware of its non-stimulant status.
