A comparative trial of a new antidepressant, fluoxetine

S Levine et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1987 May.

Abstract

This clinical trial of a new antidepressant, fluoxetine, shows it to be as effective as a standard tricyclic drug, imipramine. It is effective as a single daily dose and is free of any significant side-effects. It is less sedative and appears to cause fewer problems of weight increase. The three scales used to assess efficacy showed a very positive correlation.
