Ok, I call your bluff and say its Pindolol not Pinodol. ;)
My spelling is atrocious, but every reference
to pindolol that I have is "pindolol" including
the "American Psychiatric TextBook of Psychopharmacology",
"Essential Psychopharmacology" and many references
on medline.Is Pindolol referred to as Pinodol in some lands?
Thanks for your thoughts on the medicine, whatever
its spelled.-John

Blockade of these receptors may stimulate the release of more 5-HT and that culd cause hypomania. I guess its the same rationale for augmentation with atypical antipsychotics plus they antagonise the 5-HT2 receptors, not the 5-HT1 post-synaptic receptors.
