摘要
While serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are the first-line treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as many as 40-60% of patients fail to respond to adequate trials with these drugs. In this study, we describe the case of a patient with an SRI-resistant OCD who was successfully treated with a combination of citalopram (a selective SRI) and reboxetine (a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)). This report suggests that future studies accessing the efficacy of the SRI-SNRI combination in treatment resistant OCD are needed.
