reserpine and Bipolar Disorder

reserpine has been researched along with Bipolar Disorder in 43 studies

Reserpine: An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.
reserpine : An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria.

Bipolar Disorder: A major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A case is reported in which abrupt cessation of long term reserpine therapy for hypertension was followed by hallucinations and mania."3.66Reserpine withdrawal psychosis: the possible role of denervation supersensitivity of receptors. ( Kent, TA; Wilber, RD, 1982)
" A beneficial response was noted in most patients when reserpine was substituted for their currently prescribed standard neuroleptic; in some cases lithium dosage could then be reduced."1.26Lithium plus reserpine in refractory manic patients. ( Bacher, NM; Lewis, HA, 1979)
