[Manic Shift Due to the Use of Bupropion in Bipolar Depression:Two Case Reports]
Abstract:
Bupropion is a selective norepinephrine and dopamine reuptakeinhibitor. It is used in the treatment of depression and nicotineaddiction. When compared to the other antidepressants, bupropion hasa relatively lower risk of triggering shift to hypomania or mania in bipolardepression treatment. Here we report two cases of bipolar depressionpatients with manic shift when bupropion was used as an adjunct tomood stabilizer treatment. The first was a 43-year old female patient.Manic symptoms occurred after bupropion was added to lithium andquetiapine treatment for bipolar disorder (BD) depressive episode.Her manic symptoms regressed rapidly after discontinuing bupropiontreatment. The second patient was a 26-year old male on lithium andvalproate therapy with a BD diagnosis. After bupropion was added tohis treatment for depressive symptoms, psychotic mania ensued and hehad to be admitted to the hospital. Significant improvement was notedshortly after bupropion was discontinued and antipsychotic treatmentwas initiated.

Purpose and Process:
Sound Waves and Doppler Shift
Waves are disturbances that propagate through a material medium or empty space. Light waves can travel through a vacuum and some forms of matter, and are transverse in nature, which means that the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation. However, sound waves are pressure waves that travel through an elastic medium like...
