Scott - If I remember correctly (no little feat, recently), I believe that reserpine depletes monoamine stores and this causes the emergence of depressive symptoms in those that are depressed or are prone to depression. Reserpine is contraindicated in those with depression or a history of depression. It has also been implicated in suicides of those with depression.
Can't remember much more about it right now. Hope this helps a bit. - Cam
