amitriptyline and Affective Disorders

amitriptyline has been researched along with Affective Disorders in 27 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"90 patients with alcoholism stage II suffering from secondary affective disorders (anxiety, depression) were divided into 4 groups: treated with GABA-B-receptor ligand baclofen (group 1), with sibazon (group 2), amitriptylin (group 3), placebo (group 4)."9.07[The use of baclofen for treating affective disorders in alcoholism]. ( Borodkin, IuS; Burakov, AM; Grinenko, AIa; Ivanov, VB; Karandashova, GF; Krupitskiĭ, EM; Lapin, IP, 1994)
" As the impact of inflammatory pain upon mood-like disorders in animal models is not well known, our objective was to assess whether prolonged experimental monoarthritis (ARTH) induced the development of anxiety and depressive-like behaviours in rodents and if amitriptyline, an antidepressant commonly used in the treatment of chronic pain, could reverse both nociceptive and mood-like impairments."7.80Amitriptyline reverses hyperalgesia and improves associated mood-like disorders in a model of experimental monoarthritis. ( Almeida, A; Amorim, D; David-Pereira, A; Pertovaara, A; Pinto-Ribeiro, F, 2014)

"Patients with major affective disorders are more likely to complete suicide than patients in any other medical group."3.79Anticonvulsant therapy and suicide risk in affective disorders. ( Goodwin, FK, 1999)
"Anhedonia is often the cause for recurrence in heroine addiction, therefore, an appropriate treatment is an important aspect in recurrence prevention and remission stabilization."2.71[Pharmacotherapy in heroin addiction: pharmacological approaches to remission stabilization and recurrence prevention]. ( Grinenko, AIa; Krupitskiĭ, EM; Zvartau, EE, 2003)
" The results of this study indicated that amitriptyline hydrochloride at a dosage of 150 mg at bedtime had significant antidepressant activity in this group of patients."2.65A placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of amitriptyline in bulimia. ( Groat, R; Mitchell, JE, 1984)
" In this respect, the effect of QTP is similar to that obtained after chronic administration of AMI 2 or 5 mg/kg/day."1.34Quetiapine prevents anhedonia induced by acute or chronic stress. ( Canonico, PL; Colella, L; Dellarole, A; Di Brisco, F; Ghi, P; Orsetti, M, 2007)
