  • Title: Interaction of EEG sleep, antidepressants, and affective disease.
    Author: Kupfer D.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1982 Nov; 43(11 Pt 2):30-6. PubMed ID: 6217197.
    Abstract:
    The major sleep characteristics of depression are summarized and new EEG sleep studies of antidepressants, including preliminary data on desipramine and zimelidine, are described. The relationship of steady-state plasma amitriptyline levels to REM sleep and the use of EEG sleep measures as predictors of clinical response to tricyclics will also be discussed. The effects of antidepressant agents on sleep are immediate and pronounced, and studies of these drug-induced effects may also represent a rational method for drug classification.
