Dose and plasma levels of nortriptyline and chlorpromazine in delusionally depressed adolescents and of nortriptyline in nondelusionally depressed adolescents

Publication: American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Eight adolescents with major depressive disorder were treated with nortriptyline and six adolescents with delusional depression were treated with combined nortriptyline and chlorpromazine. Dose and plasma levels of nortriptyline for the two groups were compared. The delusional group receiving combined drug treatment needed significantly less nortriptyline than did the nondelusional group receiving only nortriptyline to obtain similar mean steady state plasma levels of the drug. The mean plasma chlorpromazine levels were quite low.
