The results of several studies have shown that using compounds with antioxidant properties has been fruitful in patients with depression.

Between 30% and 50% of PWEs suffer from depression. Many factors contribute to this prevalence, including the psychosocial impact of the diagnosis, restrictions on driving and certain types of work, and adverse effects associated with antiseizure medications. Without proper treatment, depressed PWEs have increased risks for suicide, strained relationships, lowered seizure control, and impairment in functioning. Our objective was to use the existing literature and insights from our experience in treating depression and anxiety in PWEs within an academic mood disorders center.

Munjal","doi":"10.1097/JCP.0000000000001858","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/JCP.0000000000001858","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND\u0000Among prescribers, bupropion is considered a substance of low misuse potential, with some studies showing lesser misuse potential than caffeine. However, several case reports exist of recreational bupropion misuse and diversion. Our goal is to understand at-risk populations, clinical courses, interventions, and outcomes after acute ingestion of bupropion via oral, intravenous route, and insufflation.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000The systematic review was registered with PROSPERO on August 5, 2023. We conducted a systematic literature search on July 30, 2023, utilizing 8 databases with the help of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) term \"Bupropion\" in the context of misuse and abuse. Ultimately, we found 17 articles with qualitative synthesis relevant to our study objective and meeting our inclusion/exclusion criteria.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Bupropion insufflation and intravenous injection occur almost exclusively in patients with a substance use disorder history, with a preponderance of patients with stimulant use disorder or multiple substance use disorders. Additionally, many were dual-diagnosis patients with a history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and stimulant use disorder, treated with bupropion. Patients describe the effects of bupropion insufflation/IV injection as a milder \"cocaine-like\" high that is brief, with less severe withdrawal effects of anxiety and agitation. The most common side effect at presentation was tachycardia, followed by seizures responsive to IV benzodiazepines. IV injection seems particularly insulting to the vascular system, with cellulitis, tissue necrosis, and digital ischemia as documented adverse effects.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000This systematic review highlights the bupropion misuse potential in certain patient populations and serves to increase awareness among clinicians. Additional patient screening, monitoring and follow-up, surveillance, and further research are needed to investigate and prevent bupropion misuse in at-risk patient populations entirely.","PeriodicalId":15455,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":"9 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140658950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Normally, TDM implies measuring a drug concentration in venous blood samples. This technique is invasive and requires trained assistants and patients normally need to go to an outpatient clinic. Over the past decades, sensitivity of analytical equipment has improved leading to a growing interest in microsampling techniques. These techniques are minimally invasive, require a small volume (<100 μL), usually result in stable samples, and can be collected by the patient or a caregiver at home. Before a microsampling technique can be used in daily routine, proper method development and a clinical validation study should be performed.","PeriodicalId":15455,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140628547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
