| These include the anti-epileptic drugs
topiramate (Topamax) and sodium valproate (Depakote), tricyclic
antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil) and nortriptyline
(Pamelor), beta blockers such as propranolol (Inderal), calcium blockers
such as verapamil, and the antihistamine cyproheptadine (Periactin) in
children. These risks were similar among people treated with an
SSRI--either fluoxetine (Prozac) or paroxetine (Paxil)--or a tricyclic
antidepressant-either amitriptyline or dothiepin. Some success was reported with
the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline (4) and nortriptyline, (5,6)
but Mihail et al (7) found that trimipramine was not superior to
placebo. |
