Are tricyclic antidepressants, as a class including amitriptyline, protriptyline, or nortriptyline, serotonergic-antagonists at the level of brain?

01 January 1970 0 6K Report

No question is more important to elucidate the function of serotonin at the level of the brain.

NEUROLOGY (AAN) turned down my exhaustive paper around 1995 without even an external review. The complaint to the Ombudsman was not fruitful, as ranks were immediately closed and technicalities were swiftly invoked.

Do technicalities really matter when a clear and sharp focus is brought on to a complex and vexing issue that is apparently or seemingly beyond resolution?

Depending on the interest aroused at RG, I will attach my unpublished paper soon or represent it for publication in another journal.
