Im glad you now understand Pinodol[not Pindolol]
pharmacology. On the contrary beta-adrenergic blockade may enhance the effects of a 5-HT antidepressant. Blockade of these receptors may stimulate the release of more 5-HT and that culd cause hypomania. I guess its the same rationale for augmentation with atypical antipsychotics plus they antagonise the 5-HT2 receptors, not the 5-HT1 post-synaptic receptors.
