I saw a Medline abstract months ago talking about the pharmacologically active metabolite of nortiptyline (Pamelelor) 10-hydroxy-nortriptyine as having serotonin down-regulation effect and anxiolytic effects. They mentioned that it ought to be pursued as a possible separate med to develop.

Perhaps Pregabalin and the metabolite of BuSpar (I forget the name) fall into this category, although they are anti-anxiety meds. Also, about a year ago, I read about testing on a new version of Valium without the side effects and dependence or addiction risks.
