Abstract
Sir, Cannabinoids modulate mood probably through serotonergic neurons in medial prefrontal cortex and cannabinoid receptor (CB1) receptor antagonists may reverse these effects. [1] Rimonabant, a CB1 receptor antagonist and an anti-obesity agent has been associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms in clinical trials [2] though was initially considered to be safe. [3] We report a patient with schizophrenia developing depression possibly due to rimonabant.
