Potentiation of antidepressant medications by phase advance of the sleep-wake cycle (original) (raw)

Publication: American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Phase advance of the sleep-wake cycle and antidepressant treatment may have complementary effects on the circadian system. The authors suggest that the combination may be useful in treating drug nonresponders and in hastening response to antidepressant drugs.
