Abstract
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a severe complication of antipsychotics. Pramipexole can be effective in the treatment of TD with its D3 dopamine receptor agonist effect. Studies conducted with bipolar depression and treatment-resistant depression (TRD); support the antidepressant effect of pramipexole. Here we present a 55-years-old female case. For the treatment of depression, she received antidepressant, anxiolytic and antipsychotics for 2,5 years. When severe bruxism, fidgeting, and serious functional impairment emerged, she was re-hospitalized and diagnosed with TRD and TD. Several combinations of antidepressant, anxiolytic, and antipsychotics were administered. The depression improved partially, but hypochondriac preoccupations and dyskinesia persisted. At the sixth month, pramipexole 0.125 mg/day was added to sertraline 200 mg/day, amitriptyline 60 mg/day, clonazepam 2 mg/day, and biperiden 4 mg/day. The depression and dyskinesia improved and she was discharged. TRD and TD improved within the first 4 weeks of pramipexole administration and no relapse was observed. Pramipexole is a promising agent in the treatment of TRD and TD.

Key words: Pramipexole, Depression, Psychotic; Dyskinesia, Drug-Induced



Tedaviye Dirençli Psikotik Bulgulu Depresyon ve Tardiv Diskinezide Düşük Doz Pramipeksol Eklenmesiyle Görülen Düzelme: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Özet
Tardiv Diskinezi (TD) antipsikotiklerin ciddi bir yan etkisidir. Pramipeksol dopamin D3 reseptör agonisti etkisi ile TD tedavisinde etkili olabilir. Bipolar depresyon ve tedaviye dirençli depresyonda (TDD) yapılan çalışmalar, pramipeksol’ün antidepresan etkisini desteklemektedir. Bu yazıda; depresyon tedavisi için 2,5 yıldır çeşitli antidepresan, anksiyolitik ve antipsikotikler kullanan, 55 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunulmuştur. Olgu çenede ve ayaklarda beliren istemsiz hareketlere ciddi işlevsellik kaybı eklenmesi üzerine TD ve TDD tanıları ile kliniğimize yatırılmıştır. 6 aylık tedavi boyunca çeşitli antidepresan, anksiyolitik ve antipsikotikler, etkin doz ve sürelerde kullanılmıştır. Depresyon kısmen düzelmiş, hipokondriyak sanrılar ve diskinezi düzelmemiştir. Yatışın son ayında sertralin 200 mg/gün, amitriptilin 60 mg/gün, klonazepam 2 mg/gün, biperiden 4 mg/gün kombinasyonuna, 0.125 mg/gün pramipeksol eklenmiştir. 4. haftada depresyon ve diskinezi düzelmiş, hasta taburcu edilmiştir. 8 aylık izlemde relaps ya da rekürrens gözlenmemiştir. Pramipeksol TDD ve TD tedavisinde umut vaat etmektedir.
