Abstract
Treatment-resistant depression is a difficult problem in clinical practice. Evidence for the efficacy of newer antidepressants, such as duloxetine and bupropion, is not yet well established. We present a case of treatment-resistant depression with full recovery where a combination of mirtazapine and bupropion was used after a failed response to combined mirtazapine and duloxetine treatment.
