Throwback Benzos
Manage episode 401060613 series 2510897
The release of the fast-acting antidepressant Auvelity got us thinking about an older strategy to speed up antidepressants, benzodiazepines. So we're bringing you this Thursday throwback, do benzodiazepines treat depression? Benzos and sleep meds rarely earn a mention in textbooks on depression these days, but that has not always been the case.
Today, in part one of a two-part series, we'll open up a forgotten repository of psychiatric research, where a stack of about 50 controlled trials has been archived away, suggesting that the GABAergic benzos might actually treat depression.
