Abstract

The majority of drugs currently prescribed for the treatment of depression inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and/or norepinephrine. The strategy for developing triple reuptake inhibitors (TRIs) is based on preclinical and clinical studies indicating that adding a dopaminergic component to a single or dual uptake inhibitor will improve these therapies in one or more dimensions.
