Desyrel belongs to the antidepressant group of drugs. It acts on the chemicals (neurotransmitters) that are present in the brain and which may be unbalanced in people with depression.

In these cases, it helps by improving the mood, appetite and energy level of the patient along with reducing anxiety and insomnia that is associated with depression.
