Sal - The link you gave was based on a study in 1995. Further research has shown that pindolol does not really augment antidepressant action and it is now in doubt whether it actually decreases the time to SSRI action. Also, as has been said before, generic and brand name pindolol are bioequivalent. The study in which there was a difference between the brand and generic, was speculated to be a non-bioequivalent lot of the generic pindolol (or outdated drug - I heard a speaker at conference mention this; sorry, I can't remember his name, but I can see his face). Also, the study that had said this was funded by the makers of Visken™.
