Depression systematic treatment

Posted by nephron on May 2, 2004, at 7:15:57

My pdoc says that there's an evidence-based systematic method of treating depression pharmalogically (to complement therapy stuff)...

SSRIs- so Paxil or Cipralex or what have you- try 2 or 3- if these don't work move to

SNRIs- for example Effexor, then

Tricyclics: for example impiramine, then

Selective reversible MAOIs- e.g. moclobemide.

If none of these work well enough, pick the one which worked best with the least side effects, and add a mood stabiliser like lithium.

Any feedback on this?

Thanks, Sarah
