amitriptyline and Affective Disorders, Psychotic

amitriptyline has been researched along with Affective Disorders, Psychotic in 23 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Affective Disorders, Psychotic: Disorders in which the essential feature is a severe disturbance in mood (depression, anxiety, elation, and excitement) accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, gross impairment in reality testing, etc.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The introduction of two tricyclic compounds (iprindole and mianserin) that are reported to have antidepressant properties but to be relatively devoid of effects on central amine neurotransmitter systems has raised questions about the amine hypothesis of depression and about the mechanism of action of tricyclics in general."7.66Novel antidepressants and the biogenic amine hypothesis of depression. The case for iprindole and mianserin. ( Goodwin, FK; Zis, AP, 1979)
"When depression was accompanied by character disorder, the response was generally poor."6.64A comparison of electroconvulsive therapy and combined phenelzine-amitriptyline in refractory depression. ( Davidson, J; Law-Yone, B; Linnoila, M; McLeod, M, 1978)

" These findings suggest that these antidepressant drugs act as a partial agonists at beta-adrenergic receptors on astrocytes, and that the down-regulation of beta-adrenergic activity that occurs in vivo after chronic administration of antidepressant drugs may, to a large extent, take place in astrocytes and may result from the partial beta-agonist nature of the drugs."1.27Acute and chronic effects of antidepressant drugs on beta-adrenergic function in astrocytes in primary cultures: an indication of glial involvement in affective disorders?
