> The clinical trials of sibutramine for depression do not appear on Medline. They are probably too old.

I am wrong.

Sibutramine was discovered in 1987.

I don't know why they don't appear. They might not have demonstrated sufficient efficacy. However, many authors were left with the impression that it had a promising future as an antidepressant.

Sibutramine was approved in 1997 as an anorexiant to treat obesity. It acts as an appetite suppressant and activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) to stimulate thermogenesis.

Other patents for sibutramine have been filed to treat Parkinsons, Tourettes, non-Tourettes tics, fibromyalgia, PTSD, OCD, CFS, ADD, and several other organic brain disorders.
