TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Organic affective psychosis associated with the routine use of non-prescription cold preparations JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Brown, T. M. A1 - Golden, R. N. A1 - Evans, D. L. SP - 572 EP - 575 VL - 156 IS - N2 - A patient experienced an organic affective psychosis on three separate occasions after taking recommended doses of non-prescription cold/sinus preparations. The possible underlying pharmacological mechanisms of this clinical reaction lend support to the cholinergic-adrenergic balance hypothesis of affective disorders. Recognition of this acute drug-induced state can lead to appropriate short-term pharmacotherapy and can prevent misdiagnosis of a major affective disorder or schizophrenia.
