โฆ Synopsis
Depressed patients showed a decreased 5-HT uptake rate and aggregation response and increased platelet ketanserin binding, compared to normal controls. Five weeks treatment with either mianserin or dothiepin improved the biochemical parameters in the patients, although the parameters still had not returned to control levels. There was no ditrerence between the biochemical markers in the mianserin and dothiepin groups at any time during the study.

A multicentre study compared tianeptine (37.5 mg/day), an original psychotropic compound characterized by both antidepressant and anxiolytic potentials, with a reference antidepressant, mianserin (60 mgkday) and a reference anxiolytic, alprazolam (1.5 mglday), in the treatment of 152 patients fulfil
There is abundant evidence for abnormalities of the norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5HT) neurotransmitter systems in depression and anxiety disorders. The majority of evidence supports underactivation of serotonergic function and complex dysregulation of noradrenergic function, most consistent wi
