Do a Pub Med search under "TAK-637" and "tachykinin receptor". I just did such a search. Apparently TAK-637 is a tachykinin NK(1) receptor antagonist like Substance P and as such may have the ability to minimize neuropathic pain, regulate the gate activity of the hippocampal network, and lessen anxiety by dampening our response to stress. Isn’t depression often ultimatley due to an HPA axis that over responds to stress? Anyway, remember that your doctor, as a researcher, may have his own agenda for wanting you to take this drug.
