  • Title: [A case of amineptine dependence].
    Author: Pérez de los Cobos JC, Jorda LL, Pelegrin C.
    Journal: Encephale; 1990; 16(1):41-2. PubMed ID: 2328684.
    Abstract:
    We relate a case of amineptine (Survector) dependence in a patient with a previous history of amphetamine dependence. Under pressure from the family, she came to the hospital with anxiety symptoms which had appeared 48 hours after suspension of the treatment. The product was initially prescribed by a psychiatrist three years previously and she took a dose of 100 mg/day for three months. Approximately one year ago she re-started the treatment on her own initiative, increasing the dose to about 30 tablets/day (3 g) in order to combat against asthenia and to be able to maintain her normal level of activity. In her history we find an episode of amphetamine dependence at 17 years old. We compare the characteristics of this case with other reported cases. Finally some recommendations for a better use of this antidepressant in similar cases are suggested.
