> I would like to see more careful study of the use of pindolol (Visken) in the treatment of depression. It works on serotonin as well as beta receptors. Initially, it was thought that pindolol only hastened a response to SSRIs, rather than improve the rate or quality of response. This was over 15 years ago. A few more studies wouldn't hurt.

Okay. I did a quick literature search on Medline/Pubmed and found a more recent study that reported no positive effect of adding pindolol to SSRIs at commonly used dosages. However, one study using high dosages of pindolol (7.5 mg) reported efficacy. I guess pindolol is not such a great tool in the treatment of depression.
