Mianserin hydrochloride: a novel antidepressant. 1976

A Coppen, and R Gupta, and S Montgomery, and K Ghose, and J Bailey, and B Burns, and J J de Ridder

The antidepressant activities of mianserin hydrochloride were investigated and compared with those of amitriptyline. The therapeutic efficacy of the two drugs appeared similar, but the incidence of side-effects was significantly higher with amitriptyline. Plasma levels of mianserin were determined during the trial and were not related to the therapeutic activity of the drug.
