Augmentation with pramipexole efficacious for treatment‐resistant depression
Augmenting antidepressant treatment with the dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonist pramipexole led to improvement in depressive symptoms relative to placebo at 12 weeks in patients with treatment‐resistant depression, a randomized trial has found. Treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was more prevalent in the pramipexole group, investigators reported. Study results were published online June 29, 2025, in Lancet Psychiatry .
