Original Abstract of the Article :
Antidepressant drugs are extensively metabolized prior to elimination from the body. These metabolites usually have biological and chemical properties different from those of the parent drug. This article explores the pharmacodynamic consequences of such metabolism as possibly contributing to failur...See full text at original site
