> There was ongoing discussion if Pindolol or Bopindolol has antidepressive action. Pindolol and Bopindolol are acting at the 5ht-1A receptor as an antagonist. Controversaly Buspar acts as an agonist and is described to have some anxiolitic and antidepressant actions. Bopindolol is a very usefull drug because it does not elevate ldl, even improve apoA/apoB index and it acts for a long time.

When I needed to start taking blood pressure medication, I asked my doctor for pindolol because of what I'd read about it in regard to augmenting SSRIs. Unfortunately it has not done that for me. It does lower my blood pressure but gave me no detectable antidepressant boost with Celexa, Lexapro or Cymbalta.
