Concomitant isocarboxazid/mianserin treatment of major depressive disorder.
This paper reports combined antidepressant treatment with isocarboxazid /mianserin in 60 patients with endogenous depression/melancholia. The combination was used as the first drug treatment choice in 33 cases. Thirty-two patients obtained complete remission and one responded only incompletely. The depression improved after a few days' treatment, and full recovery was obtained after approximately 2 weeks. There were no serious side-effects or interactions, but weight gain was a common problem.
