Acute escitalopram but not contextual conditioning exerts a stronger "anxiogenic" effect in rats with high baseline "anxiety" in the acoustic startle paradigm.
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015
Acute administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may enhance anxiety in humans, those with anxiety disorders being more susceptible than others. Fear-conditioned or unconditioned acoustic startle and freezing are common measures of fear and/or "anxiety" in rodents that may be used to study this effect of SSRIs preclinically.
