Abstract
Charts of 22 depressed children on a clinical research unit who were withdrawn from high dose imipramine were reviewed. Significant withdrawal symptoms were found over 7 symptom categories despite an average tapering period of 6.4 days. Withdrawal symptoms in children may be much more prevalent and intense than previously recognized.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
