Patients with endogenous depression whose depressive episodes were clinically resolved after electroconvulsive therapy were divided into two groups: one in which patients remained well (n = 16) and another in which patients relapsed within 6 months (n = 11). Treatment with amitriptyline for 3 weeks did not affect the median thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone; TSH) response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in recovered patients, whereas that in relapsed patients was significantly enhanced. The data suggest that amitriptyline affects the TSH response to TRH differently in stably recovered and relapsed patients. If this effect is maintained beyond the 3-week period studied, treatment with amitriptyline will invalidate the predictive value of the TRH test.
