چکیده
The patients described in this report used medications that could cause cognitive impairment. Memantine could have antagonized these effects, through unclear mechanisms. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the usefulness of memantine in the treatment of cognitive impairment in bipolar disorder patients. Randomized double-blind controlled studies are needed to validate these preliminary observations.

متن کاملAntidepressant-induced Dopamine Receptor Dysregulation: A Valid Animal Model of Manic-Depressive Illness
BACKGROUND Mania seems to be associated with an increased dopamine (DA) transmission. Antidepressant treatments can induce mania in humans and potentiated DA transmission in animals, by sensitizing DA D2 receptors in the mesolimbic system. We have suggested that the sensitization of D2 receptors may be responsible of antidepressant-induced mania. This review aims to report the experimental evid...

Presynapticand postsynaptic glutamatergic modulation is associated with anti-depressant activity that takes several weeks to reach a maximal full effect [1]. Limiting mood elevating effects after single drug administration may be the result of compensatory synaptic processes [2, 3]. Therefore, using augmentation treatment with agents having presynapticand postsynaptic effects on the glutamaterg...
