A Â鶹AV study by Guillaume Lucas (now at U de M) and the late Guy Debonnel finds that, in tests on rats, a new class of antidepressants showed dramatically shorter effectiveness times than traditional SSRIs. Lucas said he hopes the finding will spur research into the family of drugs, raising the prospect of faster-acting antidepressants. The study is published in the Sept. 6 issue of the journal Neuron.
