		Given these preclinical results, it was postulated that pindolol may augment presynaptic serotonergic functioning in SSRI-treated patients by taking the negative feedback loop out of play, while not hindering postsynaptic hippocampal responses that contribute to the antidepressant effect.
		Artigas et al tested this hypothesis in a pilot study that examined the ability of pindolol to reduce the latency period in patients with depression who were being treated with the SSRI paroxetine.
		It has also been suggested that pindolol blockade of b-adrenergic receptors may also contribute to the augmenting response.
