Abstract
FG4963 a phenylpiperidine derivative and potent 5-HT reuptake inhibitor at neuronal sites was investigated in a group of 10 depressive patients, and its effect was compared with that of amitryptyline in a group of 10 depressive patients treated with amitriptyline. FG4963 was found to be significantly inferior as an antidepressant compared to amitryptyline over a 6-week period. FG4963 did not appear to be anticholinergic as judged by its lack of effect on salivary flow. Its effect (in the dosage used) on the tyramine dose--pressor response and NA dose--pressor response tests were less than those of amitryptyline.Entities:
