Hi!
Thank you for the information, it was very interesting.
How did maprotiline differ from other NE reuptake inhibitors?
RE. Opipramol. Here is some info on the availability of opipramol. I have no idea whether it is accurate or up to date. I suspect that it is neither! Names of countries are abbreviated. As you can see, some preparations have been deleted and are no long available.
Commercial Info.
Depenil Terra........ TK: tabs.50mgEnsidon Ciba Geigy.......... SWE(deleted), USA: s-c tabs. 50mg
Insidon Novartis........... A, BRD, NL, GR, CH, ITA, F, B (deleted), ICL(deleted), DK(deleted), TK, Ciba-Geigy, DK, FIN (deleted), CZ, PL, Ciba-Geigy/Novartis, LTV, Geigy, NOR (deleted), EIRE: s-c. tabs. 50mg
Insomin Abdi Ibrahim........ TK: s-c tabs.50mg
Inzeton Biokem.............. TK: tabs.50mg
Opridon Deva............ TK: f-c tabs.50mg
Oprimol Fako........... TK: s-c tabs.50mg
Pramolan Polpharma.......... PL: s-c tabs.50mg
....... The current edition of Martindale suggests than opipramol may still be available in Austria, Germany, Israel and Switzerland. I have no idea if this info is up to date. Apparantly, Opipramol is no longer used in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway or Sweden.Was opipramol anxiolytic after a single dose? What were the side effects like?
When you say Parnate made you act like you were drunk do you mean it made you over confident and disinhibited? Sounds like a good treatment for SP!!
How did reboxetine compare to TCAs like desipramine?
Yes, we do have chlormethiazole in the UK. We call it Heminevrin. It's only used to help people withdraw from alcohol though! No one uses it as an anxiolytic.
I find it very silly that some countries seem to think that flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) is so much more dangerous than other benzos. All the major benzos can cause amnesia, sedation, disinhibition, aggression etc. Flunitrazepam is not unique!
All the best,
Ed.
