Pretreatment urinary MHPG levels as predictors of antidepressant responses to alprazolam
JJ Mooney, JO Cole, AF Schatzberg, B Gerson and JJ Schildkraut
The authors present preliminary data showing that pretreatment levels of
urinary 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) were significantly higher in
six depressed patients who responded to the antidepressant effects of
alprazolam than in six depressed patients who showed no antidepressant
response.
