A beta adrenergic stimulant (salbutamol) versus clomipramine in depression: a controlled study

Y Lecrubier et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1980 Apr.

Abstract

A controlled study comparing salbutamol (6 mg/day) to clomipramine (150 mg/day), both given by intravenous infusion, was performed on depressed inpatients (10 per group). The symptomatology was evaluated by two blind observers at days 0, 5, and 15 using the Hamilton Rating Scale. Both treatments were effective on the overall symptomatology but the onset of action of salbutamol was more rapid.
