Sulpiride treatment of acute mania with a comparison of the effects on plasma hormone concentrations of lithium and sulpiride treatment

J E Christie et al. J Affect Disord. 1989 Mar-Jun.

Abstract

Sulpiride, in this open study of acute manic patients, had a clear antimanic action with all eight patients responding to sulpiride treatment without the need for other antipsychotic drugs. Plasma prolactin concentrations were increased and oestrogen-stimulated neurophysin concentrations decreased by sulpiride but were unchanged by lithium treatment, whereas TSH concentrations showed a rapid increase following the introduction of lithium therapy.
