A clinical trial of phenelzine in anxiety depressive and phobic neuroses
CQ Mountjoy, M Roth, RF Garside and IM Leitch
A double-blind clinical trial of phenelzine and diazepam against placebo
and diazepam in neurotic patients over a four-week period showed phenelzine
to be superior to placebo on three rating scales in some groups of patients
who completed the trial. The findings suggest that phenelzine may exert a
beneficial effect on some as yet undefined features of anxiety and
depression which were not revealed by a multiple regression analysis of
clinical symptomatology or premorbid personality.
