Fluoxetine withdrawal syndrome in the newborn.

Indian Pediatr

Pediatric Nephrology Unit, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Hospital Road, Pendlebury, Manchester M27 4HA, United Kingdom.

Published: January 2006

A term baby was admitted to our neonatal unit with jitteriness, hypertonia, sneezing and fever. Her mother was on 20 mg of fluoxetine throughout her pregnancy. These symptoms which were possibly due to fluoxetine withdrawal lasted only for a short while. We attempt to look at the reported prevalence of this condition in the literature.

Background: Fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant, raises extracellular serotonin levels and promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Numerous animal models have shown its beneficial effects on recovery from peripheral nerve injury.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the influence of fluoxetine on the sensory-motor function recovery of the sciatic nerve in Wistar rats after axonotmesis.

Electronic address:

Anxiety is an emotion that represents a crucial anticipatory reaction of aversive stimuli, with clinical relevance in cases of disproportional and severe occurrences. Although distinct animal models have contributed to elucidate anxiety-related mechanisms, the influence of anxiogenic and anxiolytic modulations on both locomotion and exploration-related parameters in the open field test (OFT) is not fully elucidated. Here, we aimed to assess the influence of anxiogenic and anxiolytic manipulations on the exploratory dynamics of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) focusing on homebase-related behaviors.

Subdirección de Investigaciones Clínicas. Laboratorio de Neurofarmacología Conductual, Microcirugía y Terapéutica Experimental. Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría. Ciudad de México, 14370, Mexico.

Purpose: - Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a complex disease. Several studies have shown the efficacy of multitarget drugs used to treat CUD. Here we compare the efficacy of mirtazapine (MIR), pindolol (PIN), fluoxetine (FLX), risperidone (RIS), trazodone (TRZ), ziprasidone (ZPR), ondansetron (OND), yohimbine (YOH), or prazosin (PRZ), to reduce long-term cocaine-induced locomotor activity and the expression of cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization in rats.
