Depression drugs may aid stroke recovery
TOULOUSE, France, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Depression drugs could help stroke
victims re-establish motor skills in months as well as alleviate
patients' depression, French researchers say.

In a four-year study in France it was discovered that prescribing the
antidepressant fluoxetine soon after an ischemic stroke, mostly caused
by a narrowing of the arteries in the neck or head, could improve
motor function and increase the number of independent patients,
Medical News Today reported Monday.

Prozac and Sarafem, common fluoxetine drugs, are the most commonly
prescribed selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors.

Serotonin is a hormone that both acts as a chemical messenger that
transmits nerve signals between nerve cells and causes blood vessels
to narrow.
