We investigated the inhibitory effects of 32 antidepressants on [H]N-methylscopolamine ([H]NMS)-specific binding in the mouse cerebral neocortex to determine which antidepressants should be recommended for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Of those tested, nine antidepressants (10 M) exhibited less inhibitory effect on [H]NMS-specific binding (<35%): tianeptine (a tricyclic); trazodone (a serotonin 5-HT blocker); sulpiride (a dopamine D blocker); fluvoxamine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (RI)); milnacipran, levomilnacipran, venlafaxine, and desvenlafaxine (serotonin and noradrenaline RIs); and bupropion (a noradrenaline and dopamine RI). Therefore, these antidepressants show little anticholinergic effect in the brain and are recommended for use in patients with AD.

Tianeptine, an antidepressant and full µ-opioid receptor agonist, has increased in popularity and has been used as an over-the-counter supplement over the past decade. Due to its well-documented euphoric effects, there exists elevated risk for potential abuse. Buprenorphine-naloxone has been successfully utilized to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) in patients concurrently using tianeptine, limiting withdrawal symptoms and abstinence.
