Amjtriptyline has shown superior efficacy compared with nefazodone in patients with moderate-to-severe depression and in bipolar affective disorder Ansseau et al. 1994b ; . Nefazodone versus SSRIs Nefazodone has been compared with paroxetine, sertraline, and fluoxetine in several clinical trials Armitage et al 1996, Baldwin et al 1996, Cassano et al. 1993, Feiger et al. 1996, Rioux et al. 1996 ; . No indications for differences in efficacy have been observed between nefazodone and any of the SSRIs. Tolerability and long-term efficacy The most frequently reported adverse events observed with nefazodone are nausea, somnolence, dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, asthenia, light-headedness, and blurred vision. Compared with TCAs, nefazodone was observed to induce less dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. No abnormal weight gain has been observed with nefazodone, although weight gain was reported for TCAs and trazodone. When nefazodone was compared with SSRIs, more activating symptoms agitation, anxiety, tremor, insomnia, and nervousness ; , diarrhea, sweating, anorexia, nausea, and male sexual dysfunction were observed in SSRI versus nefazodone recipients. Dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, visual disturbances, and confusion were more common in nefazodone versus SSRI recipients Davis et al. 1997.

Mrs X, aged 88, presented with a 2-week history of pain and stiffness in her neck and shoulders and to a lesser extent around her hips. On examination she had a reasonable range of movement of her neck but some difficulty in raising her arms above her head. Past history included osteoarthritis of the spine and hip with a hip replacement 10 years previously. At this stage it was thought that she probably had PMR and investigations of ESR, CRP, FBC and rheumatoid factor were undertaken. While awaiting the ESR result she was treated with analgesics rather than anti-inflammatory drugs because of a history of hiatus hernia and oesophageal stricture. Initial results showed a normal ESR of 5, raised CRP of 32 with a normal FBC, with rheumatoid factor still awaited. At this stage the patient's stiffness and pain worsened to the extent that she was unable to dress herself and spent her nights sitting in a chair as she felt unable to lie down in bed because of her symptoms. She complained of feeling generally unwell, with loss of appetite. The differential diagnosis remained between PMR and RA. Signs and symptoms seemed more in favour of PMR but ESR was only 5. At this stage we received the rheumatoid factor result which was 382 normal 022 ; . Although careful examination of the patient showed no evidence of synovitis it was possible that this was a case of RA with a polymyalgic presentation. This patient was miserable and needed treatment to alleviate her symptoms. Should we treat her with oral steroids, perhaps starting at a dose of 15 mg daily on the presumptive diagnosis of PMR? On the other hand if the diagnosis turned out to be RA perhaps oral steroids would not be the treatment of choice. Following discussion with a consultant rheumatologist colleague we decided that the best option was to give a dose of intramuscular steroid and review at hospital outpatients. Because of her on-going symptoms we also added a COX-2 inhibitor and amitriptyline to her medication at this stage. She responded well to the steroid injection with resultant decrease in stiffness and pain allowing her to attend her grandson's wedding. Subsequent ESR was reported as 99 and to date the patient has not developed any signs of synovitis. She is still awaiting her clinic appointment. This case study illustrates the difficulty we often have in Primary Care in making a diagnosis between PMR and early RA. Confounding factors in this instance were: the original ESR of 5 high level of rheumatoid factor no signs of synovitis. Often the situation only clarifies as time goes on. Perhaps this patient should have been treated with oral steroids at presentation and atrovent.

Coadministration with Antidepressants Severe CNS toxicity associated with hyperpyrexia and death has been reported with the combination of tricyclic antidepressants and non-selective MAOIs e.g., Nardil, Parnate ; or a selective MAO-B inhibitor, selegiline Eldepryl ; . These adverse events have included behavioral and mental status changes, diaphoresis, muscular rigidity, hypertension, syncope and death. Serious, sometimes fatal, reactions with signs and symptoms including hyperthermia, rigidity, myoclonus, autonomic instability with rapid vital sign fluctuations, and mental status changes progressing to extreme agitation, delirium, and coma have been reported in patients receiving a combination of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs ; , including fluoxetine Prozac ; , fluvoxamine Luvox ; , sertraline Zoloft ; , and paroxetine Paxil ; and non-selective MAOIs or the selective MAO-B inhibitor selegiline. Similar reactions have been reported with serotoninnorepinephrine reuptake inhibitors SNRIs ; and non-selective MAOIs or the selective MAO-B inhibitor selegiline. AZILECT clinical trials did not allow concomitant use of fluoxetine or fluvoxamine with AZILECT, but the following antidepressants and doses were allowed in the AZILECT trials: amitriptyline 50 mg daily, trazodone 100 mg daily, citalopram 20 mg daily, sertraline 100 mg daily and paroxetine 30 mg daily. Although a small number of rasagiline-treated patients were concomitantly exposed to antidepressants tricyclics n 115; SSRIs n 141 ; , the exposure, both in dose and number of subjects, was not adequate to rule out the possibility of an untoward reaction from combining these agents. Furthermore, because the mechanisms of these reactions are not fully understood, it seems prudent, in general, to avoid the combination of AZILECT with tricyclic, SSRI, or SNRI serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor ; antidepressants.

Amitriptyline bladderAlcohol and Other Drug Related Problems Research suggests that women may be at higher risk for developing alcohol-related problems at lower levels of consumption than men NIAAA, Ninth Special Report to US Congress on Alcohol and Health, 6 97, p. 306 ; . Nearly 4 million American women ages 18 and older can be classified as alcoholic or problem drinkers, one-third the number of men; of these women, 58% are between the ages of 18 to Grant, et.al., "Prevalence of DSM-IV Alcohol Abuse and Dependence, " AHRW, Vol. 18, No. 3, 1994, pp. 243, 245 ; . Compared with men, women with drinking problems also are at increased risk for depression, low self-esteem, alcohol-related physical problems, marital discord or divorce, spouses with alcohol problems, a history of sexual abuse, and drinking in response to life crises M McCaul & J Furst, "Alcoholism Treatment in the United States, " AHRW, Vol. 18, No. 4, 1994, p. 257 ; . Among the personal and environmental factors that increase women's risks for problem drinking are: the influence of husbands' or partners' drinking; the relationship of depression and alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence in women; sexual experience, including alcohol expectancies and reported effects of drinking on sexual behavior, sexual orientation and sexual dysfunction; and violent victimization, including physical and sexual victimization in childhood as well as in adulthood Ninth Special Report, op.cit., p. 22 ; . More than 4 million women need treatment for drug problems NIDA, "Women & Drug Abuse: You And Your Community Can Help, " 1994, p. 6 ; . Among drug-using women, 70% report having been abused sexually before the age of 16; and more than 80% had at least one parent addicted to alcohol or one or more illicit drugs NIDA Capsules, "Women and Drug Abuse, " 6 94, p. 2 ; . Alcohol or other drug use may make women more vulnerable to rape. A 1988 survey of female college students found that 53% of rape victims had used alcohol or both alcohol and other drugs beforehand. 64% reported alcohol or other drug use by the rapist J Collins & P Messerschmidt, "Epidemiology of Alcohol-Related Violence, " AHRW, Vol. 17, No. 2, 1993, p. 95 ; . Alcohol is present in more than one-half of all incidents of domestic violence, with women most likely to be battered when both partners have been drinking Ibid., p. 96.

The combination, amit4iptyline and perphenazine, is used to treat depression that is accompanied by anxiety or agitation. Ibromyalgia FM ; syndrome is a common nonarticular, rheumatic musculoskeletal pain disorder for which a definite cause has yet to be identified.1 Diffuse musculoskeletal pain and aching, the presence of multiple tender points TP ; , disturbed sleep, fatigue, and morning stiffness characterize the syndrome. Central to the American College of Rheumatology's FM diagnostic criteria are the presence of reproducible TPs on physical examination. These TPs must be located in all four quadrants of the body, including the axial skeleton, and must elicit pain--not mere subjective discomfort or tenderness--to palpation with a force of 4 kg.2 Approximately 10% to 12% of the general population suffers from chronic pain, and FM is the second most common diagnosis in rheumatology clinics.3 Fibromyalgia syndrome appears to be more common in women and exhibits increasing prevalence as a function of age and comorbidity.4 Medical service use and disability rates are high among patients in whom fibromyalgia is diagnosed.5 Similarly, use of a variety of complementary and alternative modes of therapy also appears to be common among patients with FM.6 The prevalence of psychiatric symptoms among patients in whom FM is diagnosed is high. A lifetime history of depression has been reported in up to 70% of patients with FM.7 Psychological stress has been shown to exacerbate the expression of primary FM symptoms. Moreover, it appears that FM is often associated with several other recently described "functional somatic syndromes" such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple chemical sensitivity.8 Medication therapy, including the use of antidepressants and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, has been the mainstay of treatment for FM. Of these pharmacologic interventions, tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitritpyline hydrochloride, have been the most widely studied and evaluated. In general, use of these medications has resulted in relief of symptoms, but these benefits are modest and decrease over time.9 Nonpharmacologic approaches, including fitness training programs, 10-12 biofeedback, 13 elecJAOA Vol 102 No 6 June 2002 321 and amoxicillin.
