Imipramine treatment of alcoholism with comorbid depression.
1993
Of 60 depressed alcoholics who completed an open trial of imipramine, 27 (45%) responded with improvement in both mood and drinking behavior, and eight (13%) responded after further dosage increases or treatment with disulfiram. In a subsequent 6-month, randomized discontinuation trial, four of 13 subjects (31%) relapsed during imipramine treatment and seven of 10 (70%) relapsed while taking placebo. This suggests a potential treatment approach for a high-risk subgroup of alcoholics.
