> It has a section in it about new possible antidepressants. Odansetron, adrafinil, modafinil, catopril, and some others were in there.
I'm not familiar with ondansetron but do remember seeing it mentioned in Dr. Bob's Psychopharmacology Tips -- search perhaps?
The key here may be "possible" new ADs; my daughter was in a study that used modafinil as an add-on for the treatment of depression. The consensus of the grumblings [loud] of the study participants was that it did squat.
True, this is merely anectdotal. The manufacturer is really pushing this drug for lots of uses. It recently failed in trials for attention deficit disorder, much to the stockholders' dismay.
Perhaps the fact that ondansetron is grouped with modafinil should lead us to suspect that it's not going to be very useful?
Not a scientific conclusion but perhaps a consumer's surmise.I hope you find something that helps you.
