Gender and antidepressant response

Permalink 07:56:42 pm, Categories: Antidepressants  

Gender is emerging as an important factor in tolerability and efficacy of a given antidepressant class. Substantial evidence suggests that men may respond to and tolerate the TCAs better than do women. Conversely, women appear to do better with serotonergic agents than do men.
