Abstract
- A woman in her twenties with schizophrenia developed immediate-onset mania after taking oral aripiprazole and receiving aripiprazole long-acting injection (ALAI). The dosage of aripiprazole was rapidly increased due to inadequate stimulating effect of low-dosage aripiprazole, but her manic symptomatology worsened. Clinicians should therefore carefully monitor for the induction of mania by oral aripiprazole and ALAI. Her manic symptomatology improved after adding 20 mg of blonanserin, 3 mg of risperidone, and 300 mg of quetiapine.
