Abstract
In this double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial of maprotiline (Ludiomil) against imipramine involving twenty-five newly admitted hospitalized patients, a strong tendency in favour of maprotiline over imipramine emerged. Improvement occurred faster and also at treatment end-point the trend in favour of maprotiline was still to be seen. The slight superiority in clinical efficacy of maprotiline over imipramine was present in both physician and patient measures. Incidences of side-effects were slightly lower for maprotiline than for imipramine.Keywords
