Almost all antipsychotics have been associated with a risk of epileptic seizure provocation. Aripiprazole is a novel atypical antipsychotic. The risk of seizures with aripiprazole is reported to be the lowest among atypical agents. In this study, we investigated the effect of aripiprazole on seizure

Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic drug which acts through dopamine and serotonin receptors. Aripiprazole was noted to have antiseizure effects in a study on mice, while it induced seizures in a few human case reports. Dopaminergic and serotonergic systems relate to nitric oxide, and aripiprazole also

Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic medication that is a partial dopamine D(2) and serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine (1A) receptor agonist and 5-hydroxytryptamine (2A) receptor antagonist. It has a safer profile compared to other antipsychotic medications with regard to its effect on weight,

Aripiprazole has been recognised as a third generation antipsychotic and is considered to be distinguished from typical and atypical antipsychotics. In clinical trials, researchers did not mention the risk of aripiprazole-induced seizure, but during a literature review a case report was found that

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is an infrequent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent transient attacks of hemiplegia that last minutes to days and impress either side of the body, dystonic or tonic attacks, and nystagmus. Cognitive or neurological deficits with progressive

BACKGROUND Aripiprazole is a new psychotropic agent that possesses a unique pharmacologic profile. The drug demonstrates mixed dopamine and serotonin agonist-antagonist activity and has been labeled a third-generation antipsychotic and dopamine-serotonin system stabilizer. Overdose experience is

OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to present a case of improved outcome of apathy syndrome with aripiprazole. METHODS A 42-year-old man with depression and seizure disorder had significant apathy that did not respond to carbamazepine, sertraline, and topiramate. Apathy was assessed using

This case report is on the combined use of electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) with a partial dopamine agonist, aripiprazole, in the treatment of a 30-year-old man with chronic and refractory paranoid schizophrenia. The patient had been under high doses of typical and atypical antipsychotics with a

Antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal side effects have a negative impact on treatment for mental illness. Acute dystonic reactions are uncomfortable and frightening to the patient, and often lead to early discontinuation of drug therapy and worsened long-term outcome. The lower propensity of the

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between antipsychotic drug use and the development of first-time seizures in patients with schizophrenia, affective disorders, or dementia. METHODS We used data from the UK-based Clinical Practice Research Datalink database to conduct a follow-up study with a

The prevalence of epilepsy and psychosis in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is higher than in the general population. Recent study on adults with 22q11.2DS reported that the most common trigger for provoked seizures was the use of antipsychotics and antidepressants. In this paper, blonaserin
