==Effects on Anxiety and Panic==
  −
Panic is a specific manifestation of anxiety and the mechanism of action of drugs that reduce panic share a common factor. Only drugs that reduce the firing rate of neurons in the Locus Coeruleus (LC) effectively reduce panic.
  −
  −
Numerous models of anxiety have been tested in animals. Many are not apparently reliable detectors of anxiolytic effect, and have not been applied to more modern anxiolytic/antidepressant drugs like SSRIs/SRIs. Those in which there is a response to TCA/SRI and SSRI drugs include:
  −
  −
*Approach-avoidance conflict (Stretched approach posture test).
  −
*Separation distress vocalisation (guinea pig isolation calls, rat pup isolation ultrasonic vocalisation).
  −
*Defensive burying in rodents (only some 5-HT reuptake inhibitors)
  −
  −
Interestingly no effect has been found in those tests (so far performed) that involve conditioned fear potentiated startle responses.
