Abstract

In this case report, we described a patient admitted with persistent methamphetamine-induced psychotic symptoms, accompanied by negative symptoms, who appeared to respond to cariprazine treatment regarding his psychotic and craving symptoms. To our knowledge, no cariprazine-related data has been published about these type of patients. Our case suggests that cariprazine may improve both psychotic and addictive symptoms in subjects with persistent substance-induced psychotic disorders. Notably, our patient reported an abrupt decrease in substance craving and use, and an improvement in positive and negative psychotic symptoms. Although it is not possible to generalize the observations and findings gathered with this single case, it detected a potential effect of cariprazine on a drug naïve patient with persistent psychotic symptoms induced by methamphetamine for the first time.

摘要

在本病例报告中，我们描述了一名因持续存在甲基苯丙胺引起的精神病症状而入院的患者，并伴有阴性症状，他似乎对卡利拉嗪治疗的精神病和渴望症状有反应。据我们所知，没有关于这类患者的卡利拉嗪相关数据发表。我们的案例表明，卡利拉嗪可以改善持续性物质诱发的精神病患者的精神病和成瘾症状。值得注意的是，我们的患者报告对物质的渴望和使用突然下降，阳性和阴性精神病症状有所改善。虽然不可能概括通过这个单一案例收集的观察结果和发现，
