目的:评价米氮平和艾司西酞普兰对老年抑郁症的疗效和安全性。方法对符合《中国精神障碍分类与诊断标准(第3版)》(CCMD‐3)抑郁症诊断标准的64例老年期抑郁症患者,随机分为两组,分别予米氮平和草酸艾司西酞普兰治疗。应用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)和药物不良反应量表(TESS)在治疗前和治疗后第1、2、4、6周末评定其疗效和不良反应。结果米氮平组与草酸艾司西酞普兰组HAMD评分在1周后明显下降,与1周前差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),1周末米氮平组HAMD评分低于草酸艾司西酞普兰组,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);米氮平的不良反应以头晕、嗜睡、便秘、食欲增加、体质量增加为主,草酸艾司西酞普兰以恶心呕吐、出汗、失眠、头痛为主。结论米氮平与草酸艾司西酞普兰对老年期抑郁患者疗效相仿。
