Extract

Imipramine and amitriptyline have each been tested by controlled trials and have been shown to be effective (Garry et al., 1963; Skarbek et al., 1962; Ball et al., 1959; Leyberg et al., 1959, and many others). Their uses have been discussed in articles in the “Today's Drugs” series in the British Medical Journal for 1959 and 1961 respectively. The literature has been summarized by Burt et al. (1962).
