Since you have bipolar 1, I thought you might find this pindolol study interesting:
At the end of the acute treatment (day 10; i.e., four days after the last TSD cycle) 75% of bipolar depressed patients treated with coadministration of pindolol and TSD (versus 15% of patients treated with placebo and TSD) showed a complete response. One week after 70% and 5% of patients respectively were still rated as responders.
These data confirming the presence of a positive interaction between pindolol and TSD are in agreement with the hypothesis of a major role of 5-HT neurotransmission in the mechanism of action of TSD.
