The functional roles of monaminergic transmitters in depression have been widely studied during the past decade. Data from that research suggest that lower levels of the 5-HT metabolite, 5-HIAA, in the cerebrospinal fluid; 5-HT uptake in human platelets; and platelets [3H]-imipramine binding sites occur in depressed patients. In recent years several potent and selective 5-HT uptake inhibitors have become available for clinical studies. The first shown to have antidepressant effects, zimelidine, was followed by similar compounds such as femoxetine, fluvoxamine, Citalopram, indalpine, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline. The effectiveness of serotonin inhibitors in treating other disorders, such as obsessive–compulsive disorder, anxiety, and panic disorder, has also been demonstrated. This review reports the data from clinical studies with these agents. The 5-HT uptake inhibitors are devoid of anticholinergic properties and have not produced weight gain or sedative side-effects, but may have another profile of side-effects. Headache, nausea, and vomiting have been reported, however.
