title: [Amitriptyline in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia anal as a tranquilizer].
abstract: Thirty out patients were selected in a psychiatric hospital among those presenting insomnia, anxiety, psychomotor retardation, loss of drive and anxiety with somatic manifestations. Amytryptyline was administered in 25 mg tablets, one to four times a day, for twelve weeks. Results were satisfactory as observed from the second week; side effects were minimal. We can conclude that amytryptyline is of great effectiveness in the treatment of the neurotic illnesses most commonly observed in clinical practice.
