Abstract
It seems that SSRI (moreover than being antidepressant) may reduce alcohol consumption by decreasing desire, craving and liking for alcohol. The 5-HT reuptake inhibitors may be helpful for the treatment of alcoholism by reducing relapse frequency and severity. Moreover, if depression or anxiety is present, it should be effective to give them immediately because of the frequent association between these pathologies and alcoholism.Entities:
