[Abstract] [Full Text] [Clinical Points]
[Close]
- A significant minority of depressed patients respond to continued treatment with fluoxetine even when no improvement has yet been observed after 4, 6, or 8 weeks of treatment.
- The optimal trial duration for antidepressant therapy remains largely unknown, though clinicians can offer prognostic guidelines for converting to a positive response with continued antidepressant therapy.

Jan Volavka, Pal Czobor, Eske M. Derks, Istvan Bitter, Jan Libiger, René S. Kahn, and W. Wolfgang Fleischhacker for the EUFEST Study Group
[Abstract] [Full Text] [CME Activity] [Clinical Points]
[Close]
- Olanzapine appears to be a superior treatment for hostility and aggression in first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
- The superiority of olanzapine is expressed mostly in the first 3 months of treatment.
- The efficacy advantage of olanzapine must be weighed against its propensity to cause adverse metabolic effects and weight gain.

994 Mother-Infant Antidepressant Concentrations, Maternal Depression, and Perinatal Events
Dorothy Sit, James M. Perel, Stephen R. Wisniewski, Joseph C. Helsel, James F. Luther, and Katherine L. Wisner
[Abstract] [Full Text] [Clinical Points]
[Close]
- Antidepressant-exposed newborns may experience transient perinatal events.
- After birth, newborns of mothers who needed an extended duration of SRI therapy during pregnancy or newborns with exposure to shorter half-life drugs (eg, paroxetine or venlafaxine) require careful clinical monitoring for perinatal events.
- Since unremitting depression can result in increased risk for perinatal events or preterm birth, clinicians are advised to screen for maternal depression symptoms, treatment adherence, and proper dosing to ensure a lasting antidepressant response.

Rita Suri, Gerhard Hellemann, Zachary N. Stowe, Lee S. Cohen, Ana Aquino, and Lori L. Altshuler
[Abstract] [Full Text] [Clinical Points]
[Close]
- Women are vulnerable to experiencing depression during the childbearing years.
- Prenatal antidepressant use does not appear to have major adverse effects on early infant neurobehavioral development.
- Clinicians can help guide patients in making pharmacologic treatment decisions for the treatment of depression during pregnancy, carefully weighing the risks and benefits to both the mother and the developing infant.
