title: Depression--an adverse event with nifedipine.
abstract: Two cases are reported in which depression was associated with the use of calcium channel blocker, nifedipine. In one instance, a patient became unresponsive to treatment with nortriptyline when nifedipine was introduced. In both cases, the depression resolved following discontinuation of nifedipine.
