Antidepressant-associated maniform states in acute treatment of patients with bipolar-I depression

Abstract: Medical records of 158 patients with bipolar depression were analysed for the incidence of a switch from depression to maniform states (mania and hypomania). Relation to psychopharmacological treatment was investigated. Thirty-nine (25%) patients of the total sample had switched to a maniform state during the treatment period in the hospital. Among that group the phenomenon occurred in 23 patients (15%) as a hypomania and in 16 patients (10%) as a mania. Patients with a switch were significantly more often tre… Show more

“…When new antidepressants are used, especially SSRIs, the switch risk may not be much different from the natural switch risk, 59 and can be sufficiently controlled with the addition of a mood stabiliser, 60 although a mood stabiliser cannot totally eliminate it. 61,62 Switch rates reported for SSRIs administered in combination with a mood stabiliser are of the same order as the switch rate for mood stabiliser monotherapy. However, since a switch can still occur with SSRIs, those with a long half-life, such as fluoxetine, may not be considered ideal.…”

“…Es ist bekannt, dass placebokontrollierte Studien, wie sie für die Zulassung von neuen Arzneimitteln in der Psychiatrie durchgeführt werden, das Problem haben, dass sie eine besondere Ferne zum klinischen Routinealltag haben und somit eher als "Proofof-concept-Studien" verstanden werden müssen. Generell ist zu sagen, dass selbst in nichtplacebokontrollierten randomisierten kontrollierten Studien der Phase III in der Psychiatrie in der Regel etwa nur 10% der Patienten rekrutiert werden können, die prinzipiell für diese Studie in Betracht kämen [13,16,67] [68,91]. Im Sinne dieses Phasenmodells der klinisch/pharmakologischen Prüfung wurden die Evidenzen jeder Prüfphase als Teil einer komplementären Gesamtevidenz gesehen [22,61].…”

“…Das folgende Beispiel der medikamentösen Behandlung der akuten bipolaren Depression [37] macht deutlich, wie schwer es ist, komplexere klinisch-therapeutische Entscheidungsprozesse auf eine empirische Basis im Sinne der EBM zu stellen. Insbesondere von Seiten der amerikanischen Psychiatrie wurde die Position vertreten, dass Patienten mit akuter bipolarer Depression wegen der Gefahr des "switches" in die Manie in der Regel nicht mit Antidepressiva behandelt werden sollten [13], sondern dass stattdessen "mood stabilizer" zur Therapie der akuten bipolaren Depression eingesetzt werden sollten. Diese Empfehlung wurde in verschiedenen Guidelines gegeben, obwohl die antidepressive Wirksamkeit von Mood-Stabilizern keinesfalls im Sinne der üblichen Anitdepressivaprüfungen belegt und somit nicht evidenzbasiert ist.…”

“…Contrary to older American recommendations, some of which, even for the severest depression, recommend monotherapy with a mood stabiliser or combination treatment with several mood stabilisers instead of administration of an antidepressant (Sachs, 1996) in cases of severe depression the primary combination treatment should always be with an antidepressant (Möller et al 2001;Grunze et al 2002a, b). Due to the so-called switch risk of tricyclic antidepressants (Peet 1994), serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or reversible MAO inhibitors should be used preferentially (Boerlin et al 1998;Bottlender et al 1998;Grunze and Möller 2002). In this combination, besides its own antidepressive effect, lithium can simultaneously offer high, although not 100 % protection against such a switch.…”
