                                              When mice are suspended by their tails, they become motionless which, as with the forced swim test, is thought to reflect a depressive-like state. This immobility is reduced by a large variety of clinically active antidepressants of different subclasses.
                                              Antidepressants, Desipramine, Buproprion, and Fluoxetine all have a significant decrease in the time immobile in the tail suspension test in A/J Mice
                                              Triple and double re-uptake inhibitors DOV-21947 and Venlafaxine decrease immobility in the Tail Suspension test in 129SVEV mice.
