> My guess is that milnacipran + low dose risperidone would be about as effective as a good tca.This comment caught my attention. There is a case report where 5 treatment resistant hospitalized patients who were getting little benefit from Milnacipran had .5mg to 1mg Risperidone added. Three of the 5 were in remission within 4 days and were discharged from the hospital. The other two had partial responses. Pretty darn good odds for a group of treatment resistant patients.
Another case report was of a woman with both treatment resistant depression and delusions. Her remission cocktail ended up being Milnacipran plus Zyprexa.
