And hallucinations wellbutrin olfactory

Bupropion is an antidepressant, which has recently been promoted for the treatment of bipolar depression, because of its lower potency to induced switch. However, due to hallucinations olfactory wellbutrin and dopamine enhancing effect, it has been reported to induce psychosis and perceptual changes. Most of the literature, which is available in relation to development of psychosis while receiving bupropion, has been with the use of immediate release formulation.

Some of the case report which have reported development of psychosis with sustained release Bupropion, it has been reported in the background history of over dosage or substance abuse. We present case in which use of bupropion led to development of frank psychosis, which responded to use of antipsychotic medication. However, when antipsychotics were stopped, psychosis again recurred and as a result diagnosis of patient was changed.

Bupropion selectively inhibits the employment drug screen adderall uptake of dopamine and noradrenaline; the dopamine enhancing effect[ 1 ] has been implicated for inducing perceptual changes[ 2 ] and psychosis. Is valium good for hypertension of the available literature on bupropion-induced psychosis has olfactory hallucinations associated with the use of immediate release formulation except for 2 case reports in which development of psychosis was associated with the use of sustained release preparation.

A year-old married homemaker from a Hindu nuclear family who was on lithium mg daily for her DSM-IV diagnosed Bipolar Affective Disorder NOS for last 7 years presented to the outpatient department with a 4 week acute-onset episode precipitated by olfactory hallucinations altercation with the hallucinations and characterized hallucinations olfactory wellbutrin and sadness of mood, anhedonia, easy fatigability, poor interaction, disturbed sleep, reduced appetite, low self-esteem, ideas olfactory hallucinations hopelessness and worthlessness, and marked psychosocial dysfunction.

Her past history revealed that her illness had started after her first childbirth as a postpartum major depressive episode. She improved over a 4-week period with Adderall picture blue pill 5 971 10 mg daily, olfactory hallucinations was maintained for a year. When depression relapsed on stopping Escitalopram, it was re-instituted and maintained for the next 3 years.

After this point her medication compliance became poor. On one occasion within 3 weeks of reinstitution of Escitalopram she developed a manic switch and her diagnosis was revised to Bipolar Affective Disorder NOS and she was started on lithium. Regular lithium and renal function monitoring was done prior to the current episode. Premorbidly she had a well-adjusted wellbutrin and olfactory hallucinations and there was no history of alcohol or substance use.

Her mother had a diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder and was receiving Lithium. Her mental status examination revealed sadness of mood, preoccupation with the precipitating incident, low self-esteem hallucinations ideas of worthlessness. Her serum lithium levels were within normal limit. Initially she was managed with lithium mg dailyclonazepam and supportive psychotherapy. Over the next 3 weeks her depressive symptoms worsened.

After discussing the pros and cons of starting antidepressant with her family members, she was started on Bupropion sustained release mg daily; after 7 days the dose was hiked to mg daily. Her hallucinations and depressive symptoms improved but she did not reach "hallucinations" premorbid self. In the week following bupropion dose hike, she started behaving abnormally what does adderall do in the brain the form of aloofness, violent behavior, fearfulness, muttering to self, smiling to self, marked disturbed sleep, expressing persecutory and referential delusions, reporting hearing voices passing derogatory comments, olfactory hallucinations lacking insight.

She had marked dysfunction and stopped doing her household work. During this period on 4 different assessments in the outpatient department she did olfactory hallucinations manifest any sign and symptom suggestive of organicity; her sensorium was clear olfactory hallucinations she was orientated to time, place and person. Her husband denied any diurnal variation in her symptoms.

Her heamogram, liver and renal function tests, and serum electrolytes were within the normal limits. While Lithium and Bupropion were continued at the same hallucinations wellbutrin and olfactory, Quetiapine mg daily was added. Over the next 3 weeks as her symptoms continued to worsen, wellbutrin and a diagnosis of bupropion-induced psychosis was made. Bupropion was wellbutrin and and Quetiapine was hallucinations to mg daily.

While on Quetiapine her psychosis resolved, following which tapering off of Quetiapine was started. With reinstitution of quetiapine, her psychotic symptoms improved over the period of 3 months however, she continues to experience the psychotic symptoms off and on in the absence of any mood symptoms for more than 1 year. Bupropion-induced psychotic have been attributed to inhibition of the reuptake of dopamine into presynaptic neurons and olfactory hallucinations resulting increase in extracellular dopamine levels.

Further, there were no psychotic symptoms prior "olfactory hallucinations" starting bupropion, and the psychotic symptoms which developed after starting bupropion were not understandable in the light hallucinations mood symptoms, the predominant picture being of psychotic but no g 4910 pill xanax mg dosage depressive symptoms. All this suggests that the psychosis was related to the use of bupropion.

However, the only risk factor for bupropion induced psychosis in her case was of a bipolar illness. Unlike the case report of Wang et al ,[ 6 ] in which psychosis developed in relation to overdose of sustained release bupropion, in the index case psychosis developed while receiving therapeutic dose of sustained release bupropion. Also, unlike in the case of Neumann et al ,[ 4 ] who developed psychosis with sustained release bupropion and had tested positive for drug screen for cannabis, our case had no evidence of substance use.

The psychosis initially responded to Quetiapine, but the symptoms relapsed hallucinations tapering off Quetiapine, suggesting that diagnosis was changed to a psychotic illness with affective illness in remission. The switching from affective spectrum to psychotic illness and vice versa has been reported in the literature in the past also. It can be hypothesized that the patient had a vulnerability to develop psychosis and bupropion led to unmasking of the same.

Because of its claimed low manic-switch potential bupropion use "hallucinations" increasing in the cases of bipolar depression. Thus, the clinicians should be vigilant about psychosis during initiation and dose hike of bupropion, and when such a subject develops psychotic symptoms which are not understandable in the light wellbutrin and olfactory mood symptoms, the first option should to stop bupropion.
