Abstract
Seven patients suffering from severe endogenous depression who had proven resistant to lengthy trials of treatment with tricyclic and other antidepressants are described. Their successful treatment with a combination of clomipramine, L-tryptophan and lithium is discussed in the context of other strategies for the treatment of resistant depression.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
