Antidepressants are routinely administered in combination with benzodiazepine tranquilizers or low-potency neuroleptics. A controlled study was conducted involving 40 endogenous depressive inpatients who were treated with maprotiline in combination with the benzodiazepine oxazolam or the neuroleptic chlorprothixene. After a period of two weeks there was no significant difference in the clinical ratings (HRSD, Bf-S, BL, CGI) of the two groups studied. Only in the factor "anxiety" and the adjective mood scale scores was there a tendency toward quicker onset of action (third day) in the patient group treated with oxazolam, though it was not statistically significant. The clinical global evaluation (efficacy, tolerability) showed more favorable ratings for oxazolam than for chlorprothixene. Both substances were generally tolerated well; oxazolam hardly ever caused any side effects. However, a slight deterioration of some patients' conditions was observed after discontinuation of oxazolam.
