BACKGROUND
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) were used to treat nocturnal enuresis (NE) for decades of years although their real mechanisms are unknown. Recently, some case studies demonstrated the efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) in the treatment of NE. Both TCA and SSRI
BACKGROUND
It has been reported recently that fluvoxamine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) is effective and safe for children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). However, the exact mechanism by which fluvoxamine is beneficial in the treatment of MNE remains unknown. One
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors are indicated in a group of psychiatric disor ders childhood. Data about their use in the treatment of enuresis also exist. Voiding disorders related to their use have been reported. We present five patients in whom bed-wetting was observed during a treatment
The recognition, management, and if possible prevention, of major cardiovascular, central nervous system, haematological, and metabolic adverse effects, including diabetes mellitus and weight gain, of antipsychotics and some other drugs used to treat mental illness is a topic of much debate.
OBJECTIVE

Inhibitors of serotonin (5-HT) and/or noradrenaline (NA) reuptake have been developed for pharmacological treatment of major depressive disorder. Insights in the role of 5-HT and NA in the neurological control of the lower urinary tract have also led to their application in common urological
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the pattern of prescribing antidepressant (AD) drugs by British child psychiatrists with particular emphasis on the impact of newer-type (heterocyclic and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) agents on this practice and to assess the safety of AD use for children in terms of
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) were introduced in the late 1950s for the treatment of depression. However, with the advent of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other new antidepressants, the use of TCAs has become limited, although it is still used to treat depression that has
Nocturnal enuresis is a common disorder in childhood, but its pathophysiological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Iatrogenic nocturnal enuresis has been described following treatment with several psychotropic medications. Herein, we describe a 6-year-old child who experienced nocturnal
High affinity 3H-imipramine binding sites have been demonstrated in human brain and platelet membranes. It has been suggested that these binding sites selectively label serotonin transporter or uptake sites. Since imipramine has a beneficial effect in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis, the present
OBJECTIVE
