amitriptyline and Inadequate Sleep

amitriptyline has been researched along with Inadequate Sleep in 13 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a cross-over design, 44 patients with a major depressive episode (ICD-10) were randomly allocated to 4 weeks treatment with amitriptyline (150 mg/d) in combination with either late sleep deprivation (of the second half of the night, LSD) twice weekly during week 1 and 2 followed by LSDs once weekly during week 3 and 4 or vice versa."2.69Repeated sleep deprivation once versus twice a week in combination with amitriptyline. ( Kemper, B; Kuhs, H; Lippe-Neubauer, U; Meyer-Dunker, J; Tölle, R, 1998)
"The immediate antidepressive effect of sleep deprivation diminished in the course of the sleep deprivation series."2.68Amitriptyline in combination with repeated late sleep deprivation versus amitriptyline alone in major depression. A randomised study. ( Borgstädt, S; Färber, D; Kuhs, H; Mrosek, S; Tölle, R, 1996)
"Sleep deprivation has been associated with hyperalgesia in humans and in animal models."1.35Systemic amitriptyline administration does not prevent the increased thermal response induced by paradoxical sleep deprivation. ( Araújo, PC; Damasceno, F; de Almeida, OM; Gomes, A; Skinner, GO, 2009)
"In connection with findings from sleep deprivation research in animals and in healthy subjects, the results suggest that thyroid changes under PSD may be nonspecific and unrelated to antidepressive PSD effects."1.29Serum prolactin, growth hormone, total corticoids, thyroid hormones and thyrotropine during serial therapeutic sleep deprivation. ( Farber, D; Kuhs, H; Tolle, R, 1996)
"31 inpatients suffering from endogenous depression were subjected to walking therapy three times at intervals of one week."1.28[Repeating antidepressive sleep deprivation therapy (partial sleep deprivation)]. ( Fischer, H; Telger, K; Tölle, R, 1990)
"In the treatment of endogenous depression REM sleep deprivation and imipramine have similar efficacy."1.27Evidence for REM sleep deprivation as the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs. ( Vogel, GW, 1983)
"Forty-six patients with various forms of endogenous depression were treated by night sleep deprivation (NSD) which was used as the cardinal method of treatment."1.27[Sleep deprivation as a method of treating endogenous depression]. ( Fakturovich, AIa; Vovin, RIa, 1985)
