OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of paroxetine alone or in combination with small dose of doxepin for somatization disorder.METHODS:
280 patients with somatization disorder were randomly assigned to receive paroxetine alone or in combination with small dose of doxepin for 8 weeks.Clinical global impression scale(CGI)and symptom check list(SCL-90)were used to assess the efficacy,and treatment emergent symptom scale(TESS)was used to assess the adverse effects.RESULTS:
After treatment for 8 weeks,CGI score showed the total effective rate was 87.5% in the patients treated with paroxetine alone versus 93.8% in those treated with paroxetine in combination with small dose of doxepin(P0.05).CONCLUSION:
