Abstract

Frequently, oncologists prescribe antidepressant drugs to cancer patients suffering from depression as a side-effect of cancer chemotheraphy. Little research has investigated the possible deleterious behavioral effects of these drugs when given in combination. The present experiment demonstrates behavioral depression resulting from the combined administration of pro carbazine, an antineoplastic agent, and imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. Running wheels were used as a measure of activity in mice.
