Neurobiology and Effectiveness of Antipsychotic Drugs in Resistant Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Systematic Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unlike the classical serotonergic hypothesis, OCD may result from striatal dopaminergic hyperactivity, modulated in some patients by an underlying serotonergic hypo activity. In the treatment of resistant OCD, most studies report the effectiveness of first-generation antipsychotic (haloperidol, amisulpride) and some second-generation antipsychotics (risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, quetiapine) in combination with an SSRI. Moreover, in case reports, recrudescence or onset of OCD symptoms in patients with schizophrenia have been described in a switch from first generation antipsychotic medication to olanzapine, risperidone, aripiprazole or clozapine, but not within a switch to amisulpride or quetiapine.
