They're would be patents for drugs or drug combinations for use in disorders otherwise not indicated. They often seem to divulge more info about the drug's mechanisms than i have found anywhere else. I was just looking into lofepramine as a non ssri/snri option as it's widely prescribed where i come from in the UK.

Sounds like a med for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and adhd. But then the abstract talks about TCA's. Did they use TCA's for adhd? Phillipa

I wouldn't like to answer that one Phillipa, given my tender years.

Occasionally as a 2nd line treatment: usually 'catecholaminergic' TCAs like desipramine and nortriptyline.
