Abstract
Twelve depressed outpatients were studied to determine if tricyclic antidepressants affect the dexamethasone suppression test (DST). The DST was administered to patients while they were drug free and 3 wk after they had taken tricyclics. The difference between tests was not significant.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
