11Millmount Community Mental Health Services,St Vincent's Hospital Fairview,Dublin,Ireland.
Objective:
In this case report we attempt to emphasize the unfamiliar link between trazodone and relapse of psychotic symptoms.
Method:
Case report and literature review of relevant papers.
Results:
We report a case of a 78-year-old woman with an established diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia who has experienced an exacerbation of positive psychotic symptoms following initiation of 50 mg dailydose of trazodone. We noted that psychotic symptoms abated following discontinuation of trazodone.
Conclusion:
Trazodone use in patients in remission from schizophrenia may be associated with relapse of psychotic symptoms and caution is required.
