"In fact, a strong effect of antidepressants (including paroxetine) is the opposite - that is, preservation of neurons by stimulating the production of brain derived neurotrophic hormone, and another hormone, bcl-2. Both stimulate the growth of new tissue and preserve the health of the living cells."
Anyone know if the tricyclics, especially imipramine does this as well ?
