[Combined therapy with tricyclic and MAOI antidepressants in the treatment of resistant major depression].

This paper shows the results of associating tricyclic and MAOI antidepressants in the treatment of resistant major depression. Forty five patients from private practice with diagnosis of major depression according to DSM III R criteria, with negative response to separate tricyclic or MAOI treatment, were given both types associated. They improved without dangerous side effects.
