When antidepressant drugs stop working: A novel approach
Tolerance to antidepressant drug treatment is an important clinical problem (one third of cases). It may manifest as loss of clinical effect (an antidepressant drug which was working stops doing so) or resistance (a patient, after a drug-free period, fails to respond to an antidepressant drug which was effective before). There is no current... view more... (2003-05-06)
