Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We encountered catatonia in a man with neurosyphilis after increasing aripiprazole and valproate (drugs reported to improve catatonia) and reducing doxycycline and temazepam dosages, consistent with identified dopamine D2, serotonin 5HT2, and 5HT1a (aripiprazole), GABA-B (valproate), glutamatergic NMDA (aripiprazole, valproate, doxycycline), and GABA-A (aripiprazole, temazepam) mechanisms of catatonia."3.75Catatonia and CPK elevation in neurosyphilis: role of plural pharmacodynamic mechanisms.
