Records were reviewed using the following inclusion criteria: (1) original published longitudinal study reporting full results, (2) detailed description of the switching method and methodological background that evaluated BD using validated instruments or a semi-structured interview performed by a trained clinician based on DSM-IV-TR criteria, and (3) sample size > 10 subjects diagnosed with BD. Bertschy The characteristics of the articles selected are reported in Table 1. Franco A A total of 5 patients in each group had an intervention for mood symptoms. S Novick Studies should include rapid cycling patients given the conflicting data on the potential harm associated with their use (Ghaemi et al. Beard Additionally, many experts and clinicians worry greatly about the capacity of antidepressants to cause affective switching or mood destabilization. The bibliography around this topic is principally focused on the comparison of the efficacy, effectiveness and safety among antipsychotics since they are the main reasons that lead to antipsychotic switching. In any individual case, it is impossible to know whether the post-depression mania/hypomania is due to the antidepressant prescribed or to the natural history of the disorder. J A (, Di Sciascio Hirschfeld 2010) with bipolar I and bipolar II patients, switch rates in the short term (8weeks) also did not differ between antidepressant and placebo (11% vs. 9%). Additionally, a switching event that responded rapidly to treatment decreases the . 2013). Olanzapine (Tohen et al. Licht In a large, population based study (n=3240), using a within-individual design in bipolar I patients, over a 3month period, antidepressants were not associated with higher switch rates when added to mood stabilizers (hazard ratio [HR]=0.79 [CI 0.541.15, ns]). Sexual dysfunction in general was more common in older participants and women. In: Parker G, editor. Overall, the evidence that antidepressants are effective in treating bipolar depression is weak.

Pregelj A In general, optimal doses of SGAs for bipolar depression are substantially lower than the doses used to treat acute psychosis or acute mania (Bartoli et al. ED is often a symptom of another health problem or health-related factor. McIntyre Risk of weight gain is high with lithium and valproate and low with carbamazepine . Castro-Loli The reasons for switching may be diverse and involve: the particularities of individual patients with their own beliefs, expectations, adherence, brain biology and therapeutic alliance (Haro et al., 2011); the illness itself (Grande et al., 2012); the medication and its pharmacodynamics (Reinares et al., 2012); and, the environment (Buckley and Correll, 2008). 6,7 Antidepressants are advised only as second-line treatment and always with a concurrent mood stabilizer to prevent . Safety and effectiveness of continuation antidepressant versus mood stabilizer monotherapy for relapse-prevention of bipolar II depression: a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, prospective study. The range of symptoms seen in unipolar and bipolar depression do not differ, consistent with our classification systems that use the same diagnostic criteria for both syndromes. M Frangou Short term venlafaxine v. lithium monotherapy for bipolar type II major depressive episodes: effectiveness and mood conversion rate. Young H Clinically, mood stabilizers are used for the treatment of impulsive aggression, although they are not FDA indicated for this purpose. (, Savas Geddes Antidepressants in bipolar depression: much confusion, many questions, few answers. government site. In subgroup analyses in two studies, safety (i.e., lack of increased TEAS rates) was comparable for rapid cycling vs. non-rapid cycling groups (Amsterdam et al. Bipolar disorder is often treated with a combination of psychotropic drugs, which may contribute to sexual problems. JM McDanald They were treated with mood stabilizers only; none were taking antidepressants or antipsychotics. 2010). Subjects were to discontinue treatment of all antipsychotics or mood stabilizers during this period. Vakhrusheva Balanz-Martnez Bellivier gren Brown et al. T Fountoulakis Vieta Regarding treatment in acute mania, we found 1 article in which quetiapine was assessed as an add-on treatment in inpatients under mood stabilizer treatment and having displayed intolerance to risperidone (Pae et al., 2004).

Kato Olsen Tohen M, Vieta E, Calabrese J, et al. Vieta Those subjects who continued on fluoxetine had fewer depressive relapses. CE RJ Pollice Thus, the studies primarily examined the additive efficacy of antidepressants as opposed to antidepressant monotherapy. Many of the drugs used to treat bipolar disorder can be considered to stabilise specific mood phases. Locklear Baldessarini Ketter F Post RM, Altshuler LL, Leverich GS, et al. Ice Switch from quetiapine to lithium and from risperidone to olanzapine has proven successful. Claes (, Rachid Coryell W, Solomon D, Turvey C, et al.

The international society for bipolar disorders (ISBD) task force report on the nomenclature of course and outcome in bipolar disorders. Predictors of affective switching with antidepressants include: bipolar I disorder (vs. bipolar II), mixed features during depression, tricyclics vs. modern antidepressants, rapid cycling and possibly a history of drug abuse, especially stimulant abuse. Tandon However, no single symptom or group of symptoms reliably distinguishes unipolar from bipolar depression. P Souery Walton The key questions should not be simple dichotomous choices: are antidepressants effective for bipolar depression?, and are antidepressants harmful in bipolar patients? Daban Paik A corollary question is whether bipolar II depression can be safely and effectively treated with antidepressant monotherapy. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the JM Torres Zaragoza Longer term studies examining the efficacy and safety of antidepressants, either as monotherapy with bipolar II patients or in combination with mood stabilizers in bipolar I and/or II patients are, understandably, few. This systematic review identified very few studies that had the minimal quality to be considered informative, but the results indicate that switching from antipsychotics to mood stabilizers, and from antipsychotics to antipsychotics can be beneficial under certain circumstances. Course of the manic-depressive cycle and changes caused by treatment. Safety and efficacy of adjunctive second-generation antidepressant therapy with a mood stabiliser or an atypical antipsychotic in acute bipolar depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo-controlled trials. In bipolar II patients, depression may be even more dominant. JC Despite the small sample size, the results indicated that an antipsychotic add-on significantly increased the QTc interval compared to an antipsychotic switch in patients diagnosed with BD and schizophrenia without medical co morbidities. C Liu B, Zhang Y, Fang H, et al. 2001, 2003; Joffe et al. Most patients received quetiapine, olanzapine and risperidone. Altshuler LL, Kiriakos L, Calcagno J, et al. Surprisingly, definitive evidence from large studies and meta-analyses that mood stabilizers diminish the risk of TEAS is lacking (Sachs et al. Vieta Kapczinski Yet, without proper control groups, assigning causality to the use of an antidepressant and the emergence of mania/hypomania is fraught with difficulties since a substantial portion of bipolar patients show a naturalistic pattern of depression followed by mania/hypomania without treatment. ML Egberts Pacchiarotti I, Bond DJ, Baldessarini RJ, et al. Reliance on mood stabilizers to prevent affective switching caused by antidepressants is also reflected in Schreiner Goikolea 2011). de Arce (b) (Bogan et al., 2000; Hilwerling et al., 2007).

A Loebel A, Cucchiaro J, Silva R, et al. (, Cipriani Routinely addressing sexual function in bipolar patients would help improve treatment compliance and decrease lifetime suicide attempts and consequently optimize the quality of life in [bipolar disorder] patients, they added. The efficacy of antidepressants in bipolar depression remains unproven. Reinares Baldessarini RJ, Salvatore P, Khalsa HM, et al. (, De Fruyt ACG W Valverde A randomized discontinuation trial. Due to this feature, studies have been designed to focus on the switch between mood stabilizers such as valproate, lithium or carbamazepine, to antipsychotics or vice versa in both acute and maintenance treatment. In fact, investigations on the metabolic profile of antipsychotics and treatment for the related side effects are currently ongoing. Benzo Altshuler LL, Suppes T, Black D, et al.
