Scientific EvidenceThere is insufficient evidence to determine if there is a clinically significant differencebetween antidepressants (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, imipramine andcitalopram) and placebo in treatment discontinuation <strong>for</strong> any reason (5 RCTs; N=248;Arnold, 2002 301 ; McElroy, 2000 302 , 2003 304 ; Hudson, 1998 305 ; Laederach, 1999 303 ; randomeffects model RR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.43 to 2.42).RCT1++There is insufficient evidence to determine if there is a clinically significant differencebetween antidepressants (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline) vs. placebo in treatmentdiscontinuation due to adverse effects (3 RCTs; N=176; Arnold, 2002 301 ; McElroy,2000 302 ; Hudson, 1998 305 ; RR: 2.48; 95% CI: 0.74 to 8.39).RCT1++There is insufficient evidence to determine if there is a clinically significant differencebetween antidepressants (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline and citalopram) andplacebo in treatment discontinuation <strong>for</strong> any reason (4 RCTs; N=217; Arnold, 2002 301 ;McElroy, 2000 302 , 2003 304 ; Hudson, 1998 305 ; random effects model RR: 1.02; 95% CI:0.39 to 2.68) or as a result of adverse effects by the end of treatment (3 RCTs; N=183;Arnold, 2002 301 ; McElroy, 2003 304 ; Hudson, 1998 305 ; RR: 3.03; 95% CI: 0.84 to 10.86).There is insufficient evidence to determine if there is a clinically significant differencebetween tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine) and placebo in treatment discontinuationdue to adverse effects or any other reason (1 RCT; N=31; Laederach, 1999 303 ; RR: 1.07;95% CI: 0.07 to 15.57).In an RCT (Pearlstein, 2003) 306 that compared fluovoxamine with placebo, 20% ofparticipants dropped out of treatment.In an RCT (Appolinario, 2003) 307 , 23% of participants in the sibutramine group and 17%of participants in the placebo group dropped out of treatment. The adverse effects ofsibutramine were: dry mouth (22 cases); headache (6); constipation (7). In the placebogroup: dry mouth (3); headache (14); constipation (0) (p
