Abstract
Nialamide + dl-tryptophan was compared with nialamide + placebo in a double-blind trial on 30 hospitalized patients suffering from endogenous depression. Patients treated with nialamide + tryptophan showed a higher average of improvement than patients treated with nialamide alone (+ placebo). The most significant difference was observed in the onset of improvement. The nialamide + dl-tryptophan treatment had more rapid action.Keywords
