Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ketamine+venlafaxine

one injection of 0.5 mg/kg of kentamine the first day plus venlafaxine (150-375 mg day) during 6 weeks

Drug: ketamine venlafaxine
After a washout period of 7 days of psychotropic medications with the exception of cyamemazine and hydroxyzine: Intravenous injection on day 0 to 0.5 mg / kg of ketamine D0 to D4: 75 mg of venlafaxine D4 to D14: 150 mg per day of venlafaxine D14 to D42: 150 mg daily of venlafaxine to 375 mg per day of venlafaxine if patient not responder

Active Comparator: venlafaxine

venlafaxine (150-375 mg day) during 6 weeks

Drug: Venlafaxine
After a washout period of 7 days of psychotropic medications with the exception of cyamemazine and hydroxyzine: Intravenous injection on day 0 to 0.5 mg / kg of placebo (saline serum) D0 to D4: 75 mg of venlafaxine D4 to D14: 150 mg per day of venlafaxine D14 to D42: 150 mg daily of venlafaxine to 375 mg per day of venlafaxine if patient not responder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Depressive state [6 weeks]

    Assessment of depression by MADRS defining six weeks: the state of clinical response defined by a MADRS score less than 50% in MADRS score at baseline initial set. the state of clinical remission is defined by obtaining a MADRS score ≤ 8.
