Extract

Los trastornos afectivos refractarios requieren a menudo una polifarmacia rational: antidepresivos de más de una clase, antidepresivos con anticonvulsives y antidepresivos con aumento (litio, tiroides y psicoestimulantes). Mientras que los psicoestimulantes (metilfenidato, dextroanfetamina y pemolina de magnesio) se utilizan por lo general en pacientes comprometidos médicamente [8], para la depresión refractaria [2, 11] o para los trastornos por déficit de atención [5], estos agentes se deberían considerar para el tratamiento en monoterapia de la depresión cuando un paciente no ha tenido éxito en los ensayos terapéuticos antidepresivos, tiene efectos secundarios inaceptables ante los antidepresivos habituales, incluso con respuestas positivas, o no está dispuesto a recibir modalidades de tratamiento diferentes por temor a los efectos adversos potenciales.
