Abstract

Six elderly depressed inpatients were treated for 2 weeks with low doses of nortriptyline and fluoxeline in combination. All patients showed significant reductions in depressive symptoms with minimal side effects. Clinical improvement appeared unrelated to whether plasma levels of nortriptyline were therapeutic. The implications of this regimen for accelerated antidepressant response as well as the limitations of this report are discussed.
