The two main classes of CGRP-specific migraine treatments are monoclonal antibodies that bind to CGRP or the CGRP receptor, and CGRP receptor antagonists, the so-called gepants. Extensive clinical trials have conclusively demonstrated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of monoclonal CGRP(-receptor) antibodies in the prophylactic treatment of both episodic and chronic migraine. The same positive results apply to the use of various gepants. They have proven to be not only an effective alternative to triptans in acute migraine therapy but also promising options for continuous use as prophylactic treatments.

Most clinical controlled trials lasted no longer than 2 years and some recent studies suggested an advantage of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) over antidepressants in relapse prevention of MDD.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Exclusively outpatient \"real world\" treatment of severe melancholia, prospectively documented over 10 years with different serial treatment strategies, discontinuation phenomena and complications.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Compared to CBT, agomelatine, mirtazapine, bupropion and high-dose milnacipran, high-dose venlafaxine (extended-release form, XR) was effective, even sustainably. Asymptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) were found at the beginning of the treatment of the MDD, which initially led to the discontinuation of high-dose venlafaxine (300 mg daily). Even the various treatment strategies mentioned above were unable to compensate for or prevent the subsequent severe deterioration in MDD (2 rebounds, 1 recurrence). Only the renewed use of high-dose venlafaxine was successful. PVC no longer occurred and the treatment was also well tolerated over the years, with venlafaxine serum levels at times exceeding 5 times the recommended upper therapeutic reference level (known bupropion-venlafaxine interaction, otherwise 2.5 to 3-fold increase with high-dose venlafaxine alone).

The PVC seemed to be more related to the duration of the severe major depressive episode than to the venlafaxine treatment itself.
