Abstract

Data on emotional effects of chronic antidepressants in normal subjects are scarce and contradictory. Thirty healthy men were given 10 mg/day of escitalopram for 6 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject cross-over study. No significant effect on negative affect, positive affect, or state anxiety was detected, irrespective of serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphism.
