title: Combination of fluoxetine with pemoline in the treatment of major depressive disorder.
abstract: Standard antidepressant drug treatments are unsuccessful in treating up to one-third of depressed patients. The authors describe the utility of combining the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) re-uptake blocker, fluoxetine (Prozac) with a psychostimulant, pemoline (Cylert), for some of these patients.
