[Report of experiences with high dosage Hydiphen infusion treatment of depressive syndromes].

25 patients with therapy-resistant depressive syndromes of various origins were treated by the infusion of high Hydiphen doses, a very effective thymoleptic drug with no dissociation between its drive increasing and spirit raising actions. The results yielded by this treatment varied from good to very good in respect of endogenic depressions, in which the mood was observed to change at doses between 150 and 425 mg/d, depending on the severity of the depression. The results of this treatment were less satisfactory in the case of reactive and bran-organically induced depressions.
