Abstract
Patients treated with the norepinephrine uptake inhibitor maprotiline showed an opposite tendency between acute and chronic effect of EEG. W hereas the acute effect indicated a decrease upon EEG vigilance, the c hronic effect indicated an increase. Under clomipramine which acts upo n different transmitter systems in a complex, up to now not fully unde rstood way, acute and chronic EEG effects could not be differentiated.
