Memantine for Treatment-Resistant OCD -- POYUROVSKY et al. 162 (11): 2191 -- Am J Psychiatry
Ms. A, a 34-year-old woman, was seen with incapacitating ego-dystonic obsessions, including fear of harm to her daughter and of losing her mind. She developed compulsive checking behavior to decrease the associated anxiety. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms, initially detected at age 16, remitted spontaneously 2 years later. Subsequent postpartum exacerbation of DSM-IV OCD symptoms associated with major depression occurred at age 30. She also met DSM-IV criteria for schizotypal personality disorder. antagonist, sulpiride (up to 400 mg/day for 4 weeks), was also ineffective (Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale score=34). At this point, adding memantine to Ms. A s regimen of clomipramine (300 mg/day) and sulpiride (400 mg/day) was suggested, and she signed informed consent after explanation of this off-label therapy.
