[Metapramine: antidepressant and psycho-stimulant]

Metapramine is a new antidepressant drug. A tricyclic molecule gives it a novel activity in so far as its thymoanaleptic and, at the same time, psychostimulating actions are concerned. Quick acting, metapramine has a very interesting peculiarity: its large tolerance which seems to be related to a no-anticholinergic effect.
