The study by Hall et al, (17) which was another placebo-controlled, double blind, randomized study of 199 patients receiving nortriptyline, resulted in an initial abstinence rate at 10 weeks of 40% for patients receiving placebo rios and 70% for patients receiving nortriptyline. The methodology used in our study permitted adjustment in the doses according to the serum levels of the patients. This may explain the higher success rates in that study compared to those in our study. Hall et al (17) separately analyzed the rates of smoking cessation in patients with and without previous histories of major depression, receiving or not receiving behavioral or educational intervention, and the association with the administration of placebo or nortriptyline. The best results were obtained with educational intervention, in those patients having no personal history of depression, who received the active drug. A negative history of depression was, however, the most important factor for the success of the treatment. Jorenby et al, (30) in a study of the use of bupropion, placebo, the nicotine patch, or the nicotine patch plus bupropion in 893 individuals, excluded patients having a previous history of several psychiatric pathologies (eg, panic, psychoses, bipolar disorder, dos alimentary disorder, dependence on psychoactive drugs, and alcohol). A significant difference in the rate of smoking cessation was observed, as follows: nicotine patch, 48.0%; bupropion, 60.2%; nicotine patch plus bupropion, 66.5%; placebo, 33.8%. The exclusion of a large portion of the psychiatric population could account for the effectiveness of the medications used in this study, compared to the study by Hurt et al (16) with bupropion.
