Yes, "reuptake" is a real word. Perhaps we should have an article on neurotransmitter reuptake? Karada 07:26 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Citation needed

This:

"Although its effects are similar to other SSRIs, fluvoxamine has different pharmacological effects. For this reason, fluvoxamine can be of benefit to patients who experience unusual or limiting side-effects from other antidepressants. Fluvoxamine also appears to cause fewer side-effects than other SSRIs, particularly in relation to loss of sex-drive."

definitely needs a citation. Otherwise, this claim is only some PR try for fluvoxamine.--Spiperon 22:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I searched for this sentence on google and it is present on many pages (67). Don't have anything for definitive citation though. -- Amit 14:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The primary pharmacological of SSRI are the same but the secondary pharmacological is different among SSRI. Please refer to the citation provided. Uniearth 11:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup, references and WP:NPOV

I've been working on the drug interaction section plus some other cleanup here and there but other sections need attention, especially for references. Please be aware that there seems to be a general tendency to WP:SYN in this sort of article so we do need to take the time to document our sources. I put flagged two sections I think need references the most. I didn't flag the article with a POV notice as the prose could be a writing stylism. Or is it POV?Trilobitealive (talk) 22:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Historical relevance

I removed the historical relevance section, because it didn't cite the key claims (about Columbine and the alleged homicide during a trial). It can be put back with citations to reliable sources. Superm401 - Talk 20:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
