> This is an antinausea drug that is a serotonin antagonist, and I read in a book that it may be helpful for depression. Has anyone else heard of this? I've considered taking it for my frequent stomach aches and sexual problems, but it would be great if it worked against depression too. I can't remember the exact name of the book, but it was something like "Prozac, Luvox, Effexor, Vestra, and the New Antidepressants". It has a section in it about new possible antidepressants. Odansetron, adrafinil, modafinil, catopril, and some others were in there.
--------------------Ondansetron didn't check out as being useful for depression/social anxiety. It does have a mild arousal effect and I wonder if it may counteract some types of SSRI induced fatigue.
