E35: Antidepressant Augmentation

So you've found an antidepressant that seems to be helping the patient, but not quite as much as you'd both like. It's maxed out or we've topped out on adverse effects and can't take it any higher. Should we change it? Maybe not. We can try adding something to it. But what should we add? That's what I'll be talking about today. I'll go over every augmentation strategy that I can think of, and there's a lot of them, and I bet you haven't heard of more than a few of them, so listen in and find out what I think about adding medications to a patient's antidepressant regimen.
