Abstract:
Described herein is a method for potentiating the action of a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in increasing the availability of serotonin, norepinephrin and dopamine in the brain, by administering to a patient an effective amount of a compound of the formula wherein Arâ is a mono or bicyclic aryl or heteroaryl radical substituted with one to three substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C -C )alkyl, (C -C )alkoxy, (C -C )alkylthio, (C -C )alkenyl, (C -C )alkynyl, (C -C )alkylhalo, (C -C )cycloalkyl, (C -C )cycloalkenyl or halo; R is hydrogen, (C -C )alkyl, (C -C )alkoxy, (C -C )alkylthio; R is phenyl, naphthyl or (C -C )cycloalkyl substituted with one or two substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen (C -C )alkyl, (C -C )alkoxy, (C -C )alkylthio, (C -C )alkenyl, (C -C )alkynyl, (C -C )alkylhalo, (C -C )cycloalkyl, (C -C )cycloalkenyl or halo; R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen (C -C )alkyl, (C -C )alkoxy, (C -C )alkylthio, (C -C )alkenyl, (C -C )alkynyl, (C -C )alkylhalo, (C -C )cycloalkyl, (C -C )cycloalkenyl or halo; X is â(C O)â; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, racemate, optical isomer or solvate thereof.
