The practice of treating depression with antidepressants is gaining attention.
Research suggests that the antidepressant fluoxetine may have antidepressant activity in a broader group of individuals than it was shown to be.
In a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, researchers found that fluoxetine was more effective than placebo in treating depression.
The researchers recruited participants (n = 30) who had a history of major depression. They took fluoxetine (generic name: sertraline) and placebo (marketed as Zoloft) at doses of 2.5, 5, 10 or 30 mg, taken as needed before bedtime. The participants received fluoxetine (or placebo) for 12 weeks. They found that participants who took the fluoxetine dose experienced an increase in depressive symptoms within 12 weeks of treatment. There were no differences in depressive symptoms between fluoxetine-treated and placebo-treated participants.
The researchers also found that people taking fluoxetine were less likely to experience mood changes, which they believed might be caused by the drug.
The researchers conducted a phase 2 trial of fluoxetine (generic name: fluoxetine extended-release) in more than 2,500 patients.
The findings are published online March 17 in, the journal of the American Society for Pharmacology.
