- Abstract
We describe two patients with bipolar disorder, with a history of multiple relapses due to non-adherence to oral medications, who were maintained on both Paliperidone 150 mg and Aripiprazole 400 mg LAIs once every 4 weeks. Both antipsychotic medications and mood stabilizers are recommended for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Although there is limited evidence available to the concurrent use of Aripiprazole and Paliperidone LAIs, our clinical experience shows that this combination can be beneficial and considered as an option for a selected group of patients.
