Re: Mazindol (Mazinor), Tenuate, Ionomin, Mirapex

In reply to Mazindol (Mazinor) for depression? Anyone?, posted by Scott L. Schofield on March 18, 2000, at 14:16:41

My doctor talked to me about Tenuate or Ionomin. These are both antiobesity drugs. They are milder forms of modified amphetamines to reduce abuse potential. Tenuate structurally resembles Wellbutrin, but often works better than Wellbutrin. Ionomin structurally resembles Dexedrine. Though we don't here of these two being used much in depression, my doctor has used them with good results, especially when Wellbutrin failed or when a big-guns amphetamine was too abusive.

I was reading somewhere that two people taking Mirapex, another antiobesity drug, experienced relief from their depression after many failures of other meds. They weren't taking Mirapex for depression, but it was a happy side effect. Mirapex is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, probably similar to Effexor except with more anorexic effect.
