pindolol and Depression, Involutional

pindolol has been researched along with Depression, Involutional in 17 studies

Pindolol: A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638)
pindolol : A member of the class of indols which is the 2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propyl ether derivative of 1H-indol-4-ol.

Depression, Involutional: Form of depression in those MIDDLE AGE with feelings of ANXIETY.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thirty outpatients with major depressive disorder (DSM-IV criteria) recruited between December 2002 and November 2005 were randomly assigned to receive citalopram + pindolol (5 mg tid) or citalopram + placebo for 6 weeks in a double-blind randomized clinical trial."3.85Can we really accelerate and enhance the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant effect? A randomized clinical trial and a meta-analysis of pindolol in nonresistant depression. ( Álvarez, E; Artigas, F; Ballesteros, J; de Diego-Adeliño, J; Oller, S; Pérez, V; Portella, MJ; Puigdemont, D; Santos, B, 2011)
"Pindolol has been widely investigated as an augmenter of antidepressant drug response."2.77A short-term double-blind randomized controlled pilot trial with active or placebo pindolol in patients treated with venlafaxine for major depression. ( Bech, P; Lunde, M; Martiny, K; Plenge, P, 2012)
"Forty-two outpatients with DSM-IV major depressive disorder who had an insufficient response to an adequate trial of an SSRI (fluoxetine, paroxetine, or sertraline) were randomly assigned to pindolol, 2."2.71Pindolol augmentation in depressed patients resistant to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. ( Anand, A; Berman, RM; Charney, DS; Lynch-Colonese, K; Perry, EB; Sanacora, G, 2004)
"Major depressive disorder is a severe, disabling disorder that affects around 4."2.61Monoaminergic system and depression. ( Berrocoso, E; González-Saiz, F; Mico, JA; Perez-Caballero, L; Romero-López-Alberca, C; Torres-Sanchez, S, 2019)
" It is also suggested that positron emission tomography may be used to define therapeutic dosing early on in the process of clinical evaluation of new treatment strategies."2.41Pindolol augmentation of antidepressant treatment: recent contributions from brain imaging studies. ( Broft, A; Laruelle, M; Martinez, D, 2000)
