title: Milnacipran in the treatment of elderly depressed patients including a case of interferon-induced depression.
abstract: Elderly patients represent a particularly fragile patient group that requires highly effective but extremely well tolerated antidepressants. Two cases are reported showing that the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, milnacipran, is both effective and well tolerated. One case is the first reported in which milnacipran is shown to effectively reduce interferon-induced depressive symptoms.
