“In acute experiments, fluvoxamine (10 mg/kg PO) and citalopram (10 mg/kg PO) potentiated the head twitch reaction induced by l-5-hydroxytryptophan (50 mg/kg IP) given together with Ro 4-4602 (25 mg/kg IP), a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor.”
“It appears likely that the antagonistic effects of 5-HTP and citalopram on behavioral disinhibition derive from a drug-induced facilitation of brain 5-HT neurotransmission.”

“A combination of the peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor, Ro 4-4602 (benzerazide), the specific 5-HT-uptake inhibitor, citalopram , and l-5-HTP induced a prolonged (greater than 3 h) increase of the flexor reflex in pithed rats.”
