Ten patients with histories of postpsychotic depression responsive to
adjunctive imipramine added to fluphenazine decanoate and benztropine
underwent a double-blind trial of imipramine discontinuation 6 months after
responding to the adjunctive imipramine. Discontinuation of imipramine was
associated with depressive relapse.
