When depression and concomitant anxiety
are the target symptoms...
Tryptizil
(amitkotvunc HVOROCHLOmOc)
Particularly useful in
depressed patients with
predominant symptoms
of anxiety and tension.
Unlike other CNS stimulants and antidepressants which ". . . if given to anxious patients wiil inerease the anxiety,”'
Tryptizol acts .. both as a tranquilizer and as an antidepressant."1
Unlike most currently used antidepressants, Tryptizol is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, nor has H been observed to
produce parkinsonism, dystonia, agranulocytosis or jaundice.
Unlike earlier antidepressants. Tryptizol "appears to have a greater therapeutic activity . [and] ... its side effects
cause less subjective discomfort.”*
