The invention concerns substituted tricyclic isoxazoline derivatives according to Formula (I), the pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base addition salts thereof, the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof and the N-oxide form thereof, more in particular tricyclic dihydrobenzopyranoisoxazoline, dihydroquinolinoisoxazoline, dihydronaphthalenoisoxazoline and dihydrobenzothiopyranoisoxazoline derivatives substituted on the phenylpart of the tricyclic moiety with at least one radical that is attached to the phenyl radical by a carbon-carbon bond as well as processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and their use as a medicine, in particular for treating depression, anxiety, movement disorders, psychosis, Parkinson's disease and body weight disorders including anorexia nervosa and bulimia, wherin all variables are defined in claim 1. (I) The compounds have surprisingly been shown to have selective serotonine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor activity in combination with additional .alpha..sub.2-adrenocptor antagonist activity and show a strong antidepressant and/or anxiolytic activity and/or antipsychotic and/or a body weight control activity without being sedative. Also, in view of their selective serotonine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor as well as .alpha..sub.2-adrenoceptor antagonist activity, compounds according to the invention are also suitable for treatment and/or prophylaxis in diseases where either one of the activities alone or the combination of said activities may be of therapeutic use. ##STR00001##
