Resumen

Se presentan los casos de dos pacientes límite, positivos en la prueba de supresión con dexametasona (DST) y refractarios a numerosas intervenciones terapéuticas, tratados con éxito con dosis altas de amitriptilina (225 y 200 mg/día, respectivamente). Durante la intervención terapéutica, se valoró el estado psicopatológico de los pacientes utilizando la Escala de Evaluación de Hamilton para la Depresión y una escala construida basada en los elementos 11, 12 y 13 (disforia, ira, sensación de vacío, aburrimiento y anhedonia) de la entrevista diagnóstica para pacientes límite.
