Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical effect and safety of Agomelatine combined with Aripiprazole in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Methods A total of 62 patients with major depressive disorder admitted to our hospital from January to December 2019 were divided into observation group and control group with 31 cases in each group according to the random principle. The patients in both groups were given 25-50 mg/d Agomelatine and taken at night. On this basis, the patients in observation group were given Aripiprazole 10-15 mg/d in the morning; the patients in control group were given placebo with similar appearance, the dosage method was the same as Aripiprazole, and the treatment lasted for 6 weeks. The clinical effect, HAMD score and TESS were compared before treatment and at the 2nd,4th and 6th week of treatment. Results The effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the HAMD scores between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05); the HAMD scores of the two groups at each time point after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);the HAMD scores of 4 weeks and 6 weeks were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Adverse reactions include dizziness, headache, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth, tachycardia, and transient liver function abnormalities, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of the incidence of adverse reactions (P>0.05). Conclusion The combination of Agomelatine and Aripiprazole is more effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder, the improvement of symptoms is more obvious,and there is no significant increase in adverse reactions, which has positive clinical significance and is worth promoting.
