1. A 52-year-old female with refractory depression had not responded to various treatments including electroconvulsive therapy and augmentation therapy with lithium or triiodothyronine. 2. Addition of bromocriptine 2.5-5 mg/day to imipramine improved her depressive symptoms. However, when the dose was increased to 15 mg/day to treat residual depressive symptoms, her clinical status deteriorated and returned to the original level. The dose reduction to 5mg/day again improved her depressive symptoms. 3. This report confirms the augmentation effect of bromocriptine for refractory depression. It also suggests that there is dose-dependency in this effect.
