Abstract
Late onset mania due to modafinil use: a case report

Modafinil is used in the treatment of excessive day time sleepiness associated with several clinical conditions. Adjunctive modafinil therapy has also been suggested to improve residual symptoms such as fatigue and sleepiness, in unipolar and bipolar depression and also in schizophrenia. Although there has been concern about the probability of psychosis and mania inducing properties of this drug, very few case reports of psychosis and mania associated with modafinil use have been reported. We hereby present a case of late onset mania with psychotic features in a man treated with modafinil. The psychiatric history and clinical course of this patient suggest that late onset mania is more likely to be related to modafinil use and to our knowledge; this is the first report of late onset mania due to modafinil in the literature. We suggest that a careful psychiatric monitoring of patients receiving modafinil is needed.

Muhtemelen Modafinil Kullanımıyla İlişkili Geç Başlangıçlı Mani: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Özet
Modafinil kullanımına bağlı geç başlangıçlı mani: bir olgu sunumu

Modafinil gündüz uykululuğu ile giden çeşitli klinik durumların tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Modafinil ekleme tedavisinin aynı zamanda, unipolar ve bipolar depresyon ile şizofrenideki, yorgunluk ve uykululuk gibi rezidüel belirtileri düzeltebileceği öne sürülmektedir. Bu ilacın psikoz ve mani oluşturma olasılığı ile ilgili bir durum söz konusu olmakla birlikte, bu konuya ilişkin çok az sayıda vaka bildirimi yayınlanmıştır. Bu yazıda, modafinil tedavisi sırasında gelişen psikotik özellikli geç başlangıçlı bir mani olgusu sunmaktayız. Hastanın psikiyatrik öyküsü ve klinik gidişi, geç başlangıçlı maninin büyük olasılıkla modafinil kullanımıyla ilişkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir ve bilgilerimize göre bu olgu literatürdeki modafinile bağlı olarak gelişen ilk geç başlangıçlı mani bildirisidir. Modafinil tedavisi alan hastaların dikkatli psikiyatrik izlemi gerektiğini önermekteyiz.
