The results indicate that long-term administration of antidepressant drugs may induce qualitative changes in the sensitivity of central cholinergic Desensitization of α2-adrenoceptors occurs after long-term treatment, thus facilitating NE release (143, 147) and leading to reduced sympathetic outflow and neutral effects on BP in both human and animal studies (144, 147)
This agent has a complex pharmacology including acting as an indirect agonist on CNS 5-HT 1A receptors, an inverse agonist on both 5-HT 2C and H 1 receptors, and an antagonist on 5-HT 2, 5-HT3, and α 2 receptors ( 46 )
Clomipramine is used off-label to treat patients with depression, anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, cataplexy syndrome, insomnia The frequency and severity of side effects in paroxetine patients declined markedly from short-term to long-term treatment, whereas changes in imipramine patients were less pronounced
This drug has off-label use to treat bulimia nervosa, irritable bowel syndrome, neuropathic pain, overactive bladder, post-herpetic neuralgia, and ADHD
Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with BDNF subsequently stimulates neurogenesis, which may contribute to the long-term reversal of depression
Long-term but not short-term treatment of rats with antidepressant agents caused desensitization (loss of sensitivity) of norepinephrine Anxiety Disorders
Long lasting side effects after treatment ended also weren't reported
The long-term clinical course of generalized anxiety disorder
A long-term follow-up assessment was conducted in 25 chronically depressed patients who had participated in a 6-week trial of imipramine to determine if imipramine responders would sustain a more favorable long-term outcome than nonresponders or noncompleters

We tested these distinct effects in mouse cortical neurons and found that acute (30s) imipramine treatment decreased Ca(2+) influx through NMDA receptors, whereas long-term treatment (48h) increased Ca(2+) influx via the same receptors
