Effect of tricyclic antidepressants on the dexamethasone suppression test

JD Amsterdam, A Winokur and S Caroff

Twelve depressed outpatients were studied to determine if tricyclic antidepressants affect the dexamethasone suppression test (DST). The authors administered the DST to patients while they were drug free and 3 weeks after they had taken tricyclics. The difference between tests was not significant.
