The action of antidepressant drugs administered during calcium channel blockade.

This is an overview of the symposium concerned with the action of electroconvulsive treatment and some antidepressant drugs (mainly imipramine) applied during blockade of voltage-dependent calcium channels with nifedipine. The results in general suggest that a combination of calcium channel blockers with antidepressant drugs or ECT may be of clinical value in treatment of depression.
