> I'm surprised that you're calling sibutramine "pro agression/depressive". I know of two people who have mentioned recently that they really want to try it as an AD (one of them being SLS).

> kHello Kara :
When Sibutramine came out,I was so excited by it: a theoraticaly AD (5ht/Ne/Da action)+ Weight loss!Sadly I tried it several times and for relativly long periods with diff. doses (10-15-20-30),but all I got from the 2nd day onwards is an increase in hostility,aggresion and agitation.I was frowning all the time.
I tried to tame this by adding Fluoxetine& benzoz but to no avail.
I could have tolerated the Tachycardia and the sweating and insomnia,but this aggressive effect was too much for me and everybody else who came my way.When I stopped it I felt such a huge relief.
I also asked 2 other people who had no psyc. history and tried it to lose weight and told me they could not tolerate it because of its hostile irritable depressive effect.
Sibutramine is not alone:
Milnacipran did the same,and it is supposed to be an official AD!
Also Bupropion had an irritable/dysphoric effect on me.
And last,but not least, Reboxetine,though did not make me hostile, within a couple of days I was the most miserable person on earth.
It triggered a terrible depression that rapidly makes you wondee if life is worth living.When I stopped Sibutramine,Milnacipran,Bupropion and Reboxetine, within a day or 2 I was back to normal.
I've tried many many ADs,but the ones mentioned stand out as being the worst ever,as they effect you in the opposite direction.
Just my experience.
P.S. note that Sibutramine , Milnacipran and Reboxetine are not popular medications,even though they are new,so there must be an explanation to this??
All the best!
