 The amino acid precursors, levodopa and L-tryptophan, 
        were given to a group of hospitalized depressed patients in a 
        double-blind placebo controlled study. Relatively large doses were not 
        associated with sufficient clinical improvement to allow the patients to 
        leave the hospital. Previous studies using the precursor-load strategy 
        have produced conflicting findings on the use of these compounds for 
        depressed patients.
