| Popis: |
Selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) have been reported to induce extrapyramidal signs and symptoms (EPS). The authors examined the change from baseline EPS, measured by an objective rating scale, in a group of elderly depressed patients participating in an ongoing randomized, double-blind comparison of nortriptyline and paroxetine. Mild baseline EPS were present in both groups. After 6 weeks of antidepressant treatment, patients in the nortriptyline group showed a significant decrease in total EPS scores. Patients in the paroxetine group showed a similar decrease in EPS from baseline, which did not reach statistical significance. There was no significant difference between nortriptyline and paroxetine in the change in EPS. |
