Abstract
A cocaine-abusing patient was treated with phenelzine and tranylcypromine, under supervision, as deterrent drugs; other medical and psychological treatments had failed. When he eventually risked using cocaine there was no hypertensive reaction. Nevertheless, the deterrent effect seemed helpful in breaking his pattern of cocaine use, as confirmed by hair analysis for cocaine.
