Has anyone tried this combination? There was a small study, put forth in a presentation by NYU, where Pindolol was paired up with either an SSRI, Buspar, or a TCA. Of the three groups, the TCA+Pindolol group was the worst, Pindolol + SSRI impressive, but Pindolol + Buspar the best and quickest. Greatest improvements were in core depressive symptoms of depressed mood and work/interest.
My family doc agree to a trial of this with me, especially considering my sensitivites and atypical responses to many other standard antidepressant approaches. If not as promising as it looks on paper, then Pindolol+Serzone also had a 90% success rate in another study with considerable improvement in the first week. I'm just curious, anyone else tried Pindolol+Buspar? Or how about Pindolol with another AD? Thanks. JohnL.
