> FWIW, the manufacturer has tried out Lexapro on severely depressed patients: http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/8525697700573E1885256C280059CC1D?OpenDocument&c=Depression&count=10&id=389736e1a5d7a79d85256c270052d0a8
Hmmmmm but it says the "manfacturer" of Lexapro has tried it out on severely depressed patients. What about organisations not tied to the manufacturere? What were the results?
Have there been any tests to compare the results of Lexapro in severe, melancholic type depression with the results of say high dose Effexor, bilateral/bifrontal ECT or high dose MAOIs? Im just curious.
the manufacturer is likely to say about anything about Lexapro, keep in mind.
the article didnt mention remission rates from Lexapro in severe depression. The goal in severe depression is full remission, not a 50% "response."
Did you know that to get approval as a new antidepressant by the FDA, all a drug has to prove is that it reduces HAMD scores by 50%? Thats all. A drug doesnt have to prove it causes full remission, just a response.
How much money was spent bringing Lexapro to market BTW?
Furthermore, how do you know whether Solomon's son had the real deal, melancholia subtype of depression? I scanned his book and it has lots of introspective BS stuff in it, that reminded me more of a "issues" type depression than an endogenous depression that needs ECT.
