Abstract

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used as effective pharmacological agents to treat depressive disorders. In contrast to the SSRIs, which block the presynaptic serotonin (5-HT) transporter and by this route increase the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, the antidepressant tianeptine enhances the presynaptic neuronal reuptake of 5-HT and thus decreases serotonergic neurotransmission. Both SSRIs and tianeptine are clinically effective; however, their opposite modes of action challenge the prevailing concepts on the need of enhancement of serotonergic neurotransmission. To better understand the differences between these two opposite pharmacological modes of action, we compared the changes induced by tianeptine and paroxetine on psychopathology, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system, and cognitive functions in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial including 44 depressed inpatients over a period of 42 days. Depressive symptomatology significantly improved in all efficacy measures, with no significant differences between tianeptine and paroxetine. There was a trend toward better response to the SSRI among women. Assessment of the HPA system showed marked hyperactivity before the beginning of treatment, which then normalized in most of the patients, without significant differences between the two antidepressants. Cognitive assessments showed no significant differences between the two drugs investigated. The results of…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
