Hi Paul!
>Is there some mode of action that Nardil and Tofranil (imipramine) have that is separate from their effects on 5-HT and to a lesser extent NE that causes them to have much higher efficacy than the SSRIs?
Nardil raises levels of 5-HT, NE, dopamine and GABA in the brain. Parnate raises 5-HT, NE and dopamine but not GABA. Also, it is important to bear in mind that MAOIs affect 5-HT via a completely different mechanism to the SSRIs.
In addition to 5-HT reuptake inhibition, the noradrenergic properties of imipramine may help to suppress panic attacks.... SSRIs do not share this effect.
>Survector is still being produced in Uruguay according to an online pharmacy, but I'd bet that they are wrong about it after doing more searching on Google.
Can you find out who the manufacturer is, call them, and find out whether they're still making it??
Kind regards,
Ed.
