aripiprazole is approved for the acute management of manic and

mixed episodes and maintenance in BPD. It presents the advantage

of a low risk of metabolic side effects, sexual dysfunction, and seda-

tion, which can facilitate treatment adherence and help improve

clinical outcomes.

Objectives

The authors present an illustrative case on which

aripiprazol long acting injection monotherapy was effective as

maintenance treatment in a patient with long history of BPD with

several hospital inpatient admissions and very poor therapeutic

adherence.

Methods

Case report based on the patient’s file. Narrative review

of articles available in PubMed about the use of aripiprazol in BPD.

Results

For this patient, aripiprazol long acting injection has

proved to be an excellent choice for long-term treatment of

BPD. The once-a-month injection promotes therapeutic adherence,

which in this casewas combinedwith involuntary outpatient treat-

ment, ensuring therapeutic compliance.

Conclusions

Aripiprazol has been shown to be safe and effec-

tive in the maintenance treatment in BPD. It shows similar efficacy

and a superior tolerability profile when compared with other well-

established treatments. Further studies are needed, warranted by

its potential advantages, particularly on patients with poor insight

and adherence.

Introduction

Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric illnesses

characterized by alternating episodes of mania/hypomania and

major depression, or with mixed features. Acute exacerbations

and maintenance treatment with appropriate pharmacotherapy

are mandatory. Long-term treatment with mood-stabilizing med-

ications is typically required. The incidence of bipolar disorders in

women during the primary reproductive years is very high, and

the episodes of mania or depression are thought to occur in an esti-

mated 25%–30% of women with bipolar disorder during pregnancy.

Objectives

Provide a clinically focused review of the available

information on the effectiveness and safety of the different pharma-

cotherapies in the treatment of bipolar disorder during pregnancy.

Methods

Abibliographic review ismade of the pregnancy inbipo-

lar disorder, based on the data published in PubMed.

Results

Clinical decisionmaking about the use ofmood stabilizers

and atypical anti-psychotics by pregnant women can be conceptu-

alized as balancing the competing risks imposed by withholding or

stopping pharmacotherapeutic treatment against that of continu-

ing or initiating pharmacotherapy during pregnancy. Some of the

most effective pharmacotherapies have been associated with the

occurrence of congenital malformations or other adverse neonatal

effects in offspring. There is few information about the safety pro-

file and clinical effectiveness of atypical anti-psychotic drugs when

used to treat bipolar disorder during pregnancy.

Conclusions

Treating women with bipolar disorders during preg-

nancy is a challenge. There are no uniformly effective or risk-free

treatment options. Fully informed decision-making requires the

review of the risks of both untreated maternal bipolar disorder and

risks associated with potentials interventions.

Introduction

Perampanel (PER) is a new selective, non-

competitive AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist. PER is generally

well tolerated, with dizziness, somnolence, headache, and fatigue

as the most common treatment-emergent adverse events, how-

ever neuropsychiatric adverse reactions; particularly irritability

and aggressiveness can be expected.

Objective

We describe a patient who developed and acute con-

fusional state presumably related to treatment with PER.

Aims

At the conclusion, the participants should be able to

remember that PER is associated with psychiatric side effects.

Methods

Collect the data of the clinical history of the patient, who

was admitted in the acute psychiatry ward of our hospital.

Results

A 32-year-old woman diagnosed with pharmacoresis-

tant juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, was referred to the emergency

department because of severe behavioral disturbances, insomnia,

irritability and aggressivity after increasing the dose of PER from

6 to 12mg. Physical exploration, drug screen and blood tests were

all normal. No abnormalities were found in CT, EEG and MRI, and

then she was referred to psychiatric ward. At her admission, she

presented fluctuations of her mental state and level of conscious-

ness. She was diagnosed with acute confusional syndrome induced

by PER, and consequently PER was stopped and risperidone was

initiated. In the 4th week symptomatology remitted.

Conclusion

Anti-epileptic drug’s (AEDs) are associated with psy-

chiatric side effects. Patients with epilepsy have higher risk

develop psychiatric symptoms and behavioral disturbances. There

is evidence to suggest that AMPA receptors are involved in the

pathogenesis of psychiatric conditions. Such mechanisms could be

responsible of the psychiatric symptoms observed. Neuropsycho-

logical profiles of AEDs are important considerations for treatment

selection, particularly in children and adolescents.

Background

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are known to lead to

treatment failure.

Objectives

In most European countries there are no data on DDIs

in patients within correctional facilities.

Aim

The main aim of this paper is to present the most frequent

DDIs in the biggest Slovenian male, Slovenian correctional facility

Dob to avoid serious DDIs in future.

Methods

A retrospective study was carried between September

2015 and June 2016 on 141 patients on substitution treatment

(methadone, suboxone and buprenorphine) and 125 other prison-

ers with mental disorders in need for psychiatric treatment were
