Okay that was a rather poor abstract -- it turns out that the patients in the trial had taken a mean of 13 (range 2 - 29) antidepressants before
... 9 of the 37 were taking MAOIs (14 SSRIs, 4 TCAs) ... 19 were taking other 2nd Gen antidepressants, 9 had taken stimulants...
... 9 had failed at least 4 different meds including 1 from each of the 3 classes (SSRI, TCA, MAOI) ... another 7 had failed 4 meds from the 3 classes AND ECT ! ...
... patients were trying lithium and/or antipsychotic augmentation as well

basically what i'm saying is these patients in the trial have tried pretty much every combination and augmentation strategy

...48.4% were much or very much improved...
...took about 7 weeks (range 2 - 16) to become much or very much improved ...

anyways
