Abstract
Combinations of antidepressants with both serotonergic and noradrenerg ic activity may be especially effective and thus useful in treating re fractory patients and severely depressed patients. In the current repo rt, studies of combinations of serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and noradrenergic tricyclics or of SSRIs and bupropion are re viewed, and practical issues pertaining to their use are discussed.
