• Description: We developed an animal model of this comorbidity (IV METH self-administration in olfactory bulbectomy model of depression in rats) in which we recorded a higher METH intake and relapse rate. The anticipation for the present study was that the treatment of bulbectomized rats (OBX) with antidepressant paroxetine might normalise increased METH intake and relapse tendency.
