Medical Therapy

Antidepressant drugs include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as escitalopram oxalate (Lexapro), citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft), are the primary medications considered for patients, having fewer side effects than the older monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).

The effect size is very small for moderate depression but increased with severity reaching the NICE criteria for 'clinical significance' for very severe depression.[3] This result is consistent with the earlier clinical studies where only patients with severe depression benefited from the treatment with a tricyclic antidepressant imipramine or from psychotherapy more than from the placebo treatment.[4][5][6] According to the STAR*D randomized controlled trial, about 50% of patients with major depression have a response and about 30% of have remission of symptoms with usage of citalopram.[7]

Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban), an atypical antidepressant that acts as a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, is also considered to be effective in the treatment of depression,[8] without sexual dysfunction or sexual side effects[9] and without weight gain. Bupropion has also been shown to be more effective than SSRIs at improving symptoms such as hypersomnia and fatigue in depressed patients.[10]

Measurement-based care, which guides mediation based on serial measurement of psychometric testing, improves outcomes according to randomized controlled trials[7][11].

Predictors of a response to treatment

Severity of depression

The effectiveness is antidepressants may[12] or may not[13][14] depend on the severity of a patient's depression. This relationship may be due to the declining effect of placebo among more severely depressed patients.

(HDRS)		 Number needed to treat[12] Clinical significance
(NICE)[16]
Mild to moderate < 19 16 No
Severe 19 - 22 11 No
Very severe > 22  4 Yes
Genetic variations

Variations in the GRIK4 (glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 4 protein) and HTR2A (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor) genes predict response to citalopram.[17]

Treatment failure

Treatment after monotherapy failure
(VAST-D Study)[18]
Intervention Outcome
Medication Mode final dose Remission % Quit 2˚ ADRs (%)
Switch medications
Bupropion SR 200 mg twice daily 22.3% 10%
Augment medications
Aripiprazole 10 mg 29% 5%
Bupropion SR 300 mg daily 27% 7%

After starting medications, treatment should be switched if there is no response within one month.[19]

When treated with monotherapy for depression, approximately 30% of patients have remission of symptoms while 50% have a response to medications.[7]

For patients with inadequate response, randomized controlled trials provide guidance.[18][20]

  • The original VAST-D trial, that did not include aripiprazole, confirms that augmenting with bupropion is the most effective of options other than augmentation with aripiprazole. In this trial, either adding sustained-release bupropion ("bupropion was 200 mg per day during weeks 1 and 2, increasing to 300 mg per day by week 4 and to 400 mg per day (the final dose) during week 6") or buspirone (up to 60 mg per day) for augmentation as a second drug can cause remission in approximately 30% of patients (bupropion may be more effective than buspirone)[20], while switching medications can achieve remission in about 25% of patients[21]. Alternatively, "extended-release venlafaxine, the starting daily dose of 37.5 mg for 7 days was increased to 75 mg from day 8 to 14, to 150 mg from day 15 to 27, to 225 mg from day 28 to 41, to 300 mg from day 42 to 62, and to 375 mg from day 63 onward."[21]
  • The PReDICT trial found that among patients who initially were treated with either an SSRI or CBT, remission was increased when the opposite treatment (CBT or SSRI) was added to non-remitters[22].
  • The newer VAST-D trial found that augmentation with aripiprazole is effective.[18] The dose of aripiprazole was 2 mg of with titration to 5, 10, or 15 mg daily as guided by measurement-based care using the PHQ-9.[18] However, aripiprazole led to more adverse drug reactions including somnolence, akathisia, and weight gain. The second most effective was augmentation with buproprion starting at 150 mg sustained release to 300 mg or 400 mg daily as guided by measurement-based care using the PHQ-9.
  • More recently, mirtazapine, was found not to add to SSRIs<ref name="pmid30381374">{{cite journal| author=Kessler DS, MacNeill SJ, Tallon D, Lewis G, Peters TJ, Hollingworth W et al.| title=Mirtazapine added to SSRIs or SNRIs for treatment resistant depression in primary care: phase III randomised placebo controlled trial (MIR). | journal=BMJ | year= 2018 | volume= 363 | issue= | pages= k4218 | pmid=30381374 | doi=10.1136/bmj.k4218 | pmc=6207929 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.n
