Clonazepam improves dopamine supersensitivity in a schizophrenia patient: a case report.
Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology 2017 March
Dopamine supersensitivity is an important consideration for assessing treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The emergence of dopamine supersensitivity might be related to upregulation of dopamine D2 receptor, which engenders tolerance to antipsychotics, rebound psychosis, and tardive dyskinesia (TD). A 24-year-old man with a history of treatment-resistant schizophrenia was hospitalized for treatment of bone fracture sustained during a suicide attempt. After the operation, his clinical symptoms implied malignant catatonia. The patient discontinued antipsychotics without rebound psychosis under clonazepam treatment. His psychotic symptoms were controlled further with 24 mg/day aripiprazole without relapse or worsening. Clonazepam might be an effective option for the management of dopamine supersensitivity psychosis (DSP).
