The use of atypical antipsychotics in schizophrenic patients has been associated with a risk of weight gain. Similarly, recovery from depression is often followed by improved appetite, greater food intake and potential increase in weight.
A Caucasian 33-year-old schizophrenic female patient was being treated with 6 mg/day of risperidone and 15 mg/day of clorazepate. She developed depressive symptomatology and 40 mg/day of fluoxetine was gradually added to her treatment regimen for about 9 months. After the remission of depression, and the discontinuation of fluoxetine, she experienced an increase in appetite and subsequently excessive weight gain of 52 kg. Re-administration of fluoxetine did not reverse the situation. The patient developed diabetes mellitus, which was successfully controlled with metformin 1700 mg/day. The addition at first of orlistat 360 mg/day and later of topiramate 200 mg/day has helped her to lose a significant part of the weight gained (30 kg).
The case suggests a probable association between the remission of depressive symptomatology and weight gain in a schizophrenic patient.
在精神分裂症患者中使用非典型抗精神病药物与体重增加风险相关。同样,抑郁症康复后通常会出现食欲改善、食物摄入量增加以及体重可能增加的情况。
一名33岁的白种人女性精神分裂症患者,正在接受每日6毫克利培酮和每日15毫克氯氮䓬的治疗。她出现了抑郁症状,在其治疗方案中逐渐添加了每日40毫克氟西汀,持续约9个月。抑郁症缓解且停用氟西汀后,她食欲增加,随后体重过度增加了52千克。重新服用氟西汀并未扭转这种情况。该患者患上了糖尿病,通过每日1700毫克二甲双胍成功控制。最初添加每日360毫克奥利司他,后来添加每日200毫克托吡酯,帮助她减掉了很大一部分增加的体重(30千克)。
该病例表明,精神分裂症患者抑郁症状的缓解与体重增加之间可能存在关联。
