Abstract
To determine the effects of ropinirole on manic switching and disease severity in bipolar disorder. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 23 bipolar depressed patients using ropinirole combination therapy (Young Mania Rating Scale [YMRS], Bipolar Inventory of Symptoms Scale [BISS]). Retrospective Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) and CGI-S (Severity) were captured via chart review. One patient (4.3%) experienced induction of mania (YMRS). All patients responded or partially responded to ropinirole (CGIs). YMRS and BISS mania scores were correlated. Ropinirole has a low rate of manic switching and significantly reduces bipolar depression severity.
