ABSTRACT
Depressed patients (N = 31), who met Research Diagnostic Criteria for major affective disorder-depressed, were severely ill and maintained drug-free for a 1-week period on inpatient status. They received a fixed dose (150 mg/day) of desipramine for a 4-week period with drug plasma level determination and clinical ratings performed at fixed time intervals throughout the study. Despite these rigid criteria for entrance and clinical outcome measures, no obvious relationship between plasma desipramine level and clinical outcome was found. The clinical implications of this finding are discussed.
