Introduction. Akathisia affects around 18% of patients with bipolar disorder treated with aripiprazole and may worsen when aripiprazole is combined with lamotrigine and antidepressants. Case. This paper reports on two clinical cases involving patients with a diagnosis of mood disorder who developed severe akathisia, anxiety, and suicidal ideation while using a combination of aripiprazole, antidepressants, and lamotrigine. Discussion. We recommend that patients with a mood disorder taking multiple drugs should begin aripiprazole therapy with low doses and be monitored for the development of akathisia, increased anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. The appearance of these limiting side effects requires discontinuation of the drug.
引言。静坐不能影响约18%接受阿立哌唑治疗的双相情感障碍患者,且当阿立哌唑与拉莫三嗪及抗抑郁药联用时可能会加重。病例。本文报告两例临床病例,患者被诊断为心境障碍,在联用阿立哌唑、抗抑郁药和拉莫三嗪时出现了严重的静坐不能、焦虑和自杀观念。讨论。我们建议,服用多种药物的心境障碍患者应从小剂量开始阿立哌唑治疗,并监测静坐不能、焦虑增加或自杀想法的出现。这些限制性副作用一旦出现,就需要停药。
