Aripiprazole

We think that the CYP 2D6 inhibitor sertraline might have played a role in increasing the plasma concentration and toxicity of aripiprazole in the presented patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In both cases, the presentation of drowsiness, lethargy, and ataxia were more consistent with ingestion of an atypical antipsychotic than with amphetamines. [doi.org]

  • Oligomenorrhea

    Participants had elevated prolactin ( 24 ng/mL) and were experiencing galactorrhea, amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or sexual dysfunction on a prolactin-elevating antipsychotic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Akathisia

    Compared with placebo, aripiprazole caused more movement disorders, as measured on the Simpson Angus Scale (SAS), on the Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS) and by participant-reported akathisia (high quality evidence), with more people requiring treatment with [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Aripiprazole is generally well tolerated relative to other antipsychotic medications, although commonly reported side effects include worsening extrapyramidal symptoms and motoric activation similar to akathisia. [informahealthcare.com]

  • Headache

    Aripiprazole can cause side effects including headache, insomnia, agitation, nervousness, lightheadedness, dizziness, somnolence, akathisia, and weight gain. Neutropenia is a less frequent side effect of aripiprazole. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Abilify side effects in children are stuffy nose, fatigue, insomnia, headache, nausea, vomiting, weight gain, uncontrolled movement, and increased saliva or drooling. [rxight.com]

  • Stupor

    On the 25th day, atypical NMS occurred with rigidity, elevated creatine kinase, and stupor, which subsided with supportive therapy. He was discharged under treatment with aripiprazole 15 mg and fluoxetine 60 mg. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Mydriasis

    Neither patient experienced any of the classic sympathomimetic symptoms of amphetamine toxicity (eg, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachypnea, hyperreflexia, tremor, or mydriasis). 12 A study by Matteucci et al reviewed 47 cases reported to the California [doi.org]

As the development of persistent hiccups may result in extensive medical workup, clinicians should be aware of drug-associated causes including aripiprazole. The Author(s) 2014. KEYWORDS: antipsychotic; aripiprazole; hiccups [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Calcium Increased

    It exhibited no appreciable 5-HT2A or 5-HT2B agonism, whereas it antagonized 5-HT-stimulated calcium increase at either 5-HT2A or 5-HT2B receptor expressed in CHO cells (IC50s of 369 and 0.46 nM, respectively). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Drug treatment is the first-line treatment for acute mania with the initial aim of rapid control of agitation, aggression and dangerous behaviour. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The place in therapy for this treatment is likely to be as an alternative treatment option to the currently available second-generation prolonged-release depot antipsychotics for maintenance treatment of schizophrenia. [nice.org.uk]

Areas covered: This paper reviews the current treatment guidelines for the treatment of bipolar disorder and examines the rationale behind the use of aripiprazole in combination with mood stabilizers for acute and long-term treatment of bipolar disorder [doi.org]

Given that these medications have substantially improved the long-term prognosis of schizophrenia and that schizophrenia is a disease with significant morbidity, continued use of antipsychotics is clearly still necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
