I don't know about unipolar depressiion, although my guess is that it's worth a try as an augmenting agent for other ADs.
What I do know, though, is that it's used a lot these days to counter the weight gain from other meds. It's apparently pretty helpful with that. It's also used a lot in bulimia, because it tends to reduce the urge to purge...
I've never taken it, though, so I don't know whether it's helpful, nor how much it helps with the weight gain. My current pdoc says that we will likely try it to see if it makes SSRIs tolerable for me. I'm not sure I'm willing, but then -- I'm pretty freaked out about meds myself these days...
