Desipramine: an overview.

It is proposed that factors including a long "track record," perceived lack of anticholinergic effects, suggestions of earlier onset of action, and the concept of noradrenergic specificity have contributed to the widespread clinical use of desipramine. Recent studies bearing on these clinical beliefs are reviewed, with a focus on desipramine side effects, specificity, and speed of onset as compared to other tricyclics and to new generation antidepressants.

Diagnosis and management of insomnia.

The symptom of insomnia concerns not only psychiatrists, but other physicians as well. Most cases of insomnia resolve with the passage of time or when the underlying medical or psychiatric condition is treated. For situational insomnias or psychophysiologic insomnias, consider nonpharmacologic interventions before prescribing a sedative-hypnotic. When a sedative-hypnotic is indicated, the BZs are the drugs of choice because of their better margin of safety and lower potential for abuse. In most cases, limit the use of a sedative-hypnotic to several days to a few weeks.

Anorexia nervosa with hyperthyroidism: case report.

Clinical signs of hypometabolism in anorexia nervosa may result from the "low triiodothyronine syndrome," in which thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone are usually normal, but triiodothyronine (T3) is in a range compatible with hypothyroidism. A case in which anorexia nervosa presented with unsuspected hyperthyroidism is reported.
