Mania Associated With Initiation of Ziprasidone

;

J Clin Psychiatry 2003;64(3):336

Article Abstract

Letter to the Editor

Sir: The efficacy of atypical antipsychotics in the treatment of psychotic disorders is well established. Although olanzapine carries an additional indication for bipolar disorder, there are cases of mania associated with risperidone and olanzapine treatment in some patients. We present a case report of mania that was apparently induced in a patient shortly after beginning therapy with another atypical antipsychotic, ziprasidone.

From the Editors

New Series The JCP Podcast PTSD treatment may be less about adding meds than helping patients stop avoiding what happened—Dr. Rothbaum calls SSRIs “weak coffee” and says psychotherapy still leads. She also explains why a 2-week intensive outpatient model can top 90% retention, and where MDMA, ketamine, and virtual reality might fit next.
