Sibutramine

Posted by slinky on May 5, 2004, at 12:35:19

Sibutramine produces its therapeutic effect by norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibition. Sibutramine and its major pharmacologically active metabolites (M1 and M2) have low affinity for serotonin (5 HT1, 5 HT1A, 5 HT1B, 5 HT2A, 5 HT2C), norepinephrine (b1 and b3, a1 and a2), dopamine (D1 and D2) benzodiazepine and glutamate receptors as well as lack monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity

This med is *not* an anti depressant , it's used for obesity..
I'm not clued up about meds but if this med affects all the neuro transmitters and doesn't cause weight gain , then it could help with depression ?
