title: [A new sustained-release formulation of trazodone for treatment of minor psychopathological depression. A controlled study].
abstract: In a controlled study the activity and tolerance of two formulations of trazodone (traditional and controlled-release) were compared in a group of 30 geriatric patients with minor anxious-depressive manifestations. The results showed a better activity with the controlled-release formulation (a single dose administered in the evening) on sleep disturbances as far as their effects on the psychopathological picture is concerned or on tolerance.
