"clinical response: Patients usually respond with an elevation of mood within a few days."
"Remission generally occurs within two to six weeks." - I HOPE SO!!!I doubt ads in psychiatric journals were as regulated as they probably are now (and that's not enough!), but that's pretty promising! Truth in advertising? (Above links posted mostly for amusement purposes.)

They had more competition then from drugs that actually made you feel nice, for a while at any rate.
I'd trust it, even with the reformulation.

I'd trust the old info. The only thing to keep in mind is that "depression" was diagnosed and understood differently back then; they were dealing with different kinds of patients, so those awesome results might not hold true today (although I think they still might).

Back in the day when those ads were published, it was generaly held that Nardil was best for anxious, neurotic depression (the sort where SSRI's would be used today) where as Tofranil was best for deep endrogenous depression (the sort where we might use Welbutrin today.
The most potent weapon was the combo of Nardil plus Tofranil or another tricyclic - that was a sort of last resort treatemnt, but it gave amazing results in resistant depressions... today we might use an SSRI plus Welbutrin to get a similar effect.
