Although these are described in more detail within the document, I would particularly like to highlight.
Section 2.1 Articles Related to Mental Health, Mental Health Promotion and Suicide ANTIDEPRESSANTS MAY CAUSE DEPRESSION AND SUICIDALITY Yael Waknine March 22, 2004 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA ; has asked manufacturers of the several antidepressant drugs to include in their labeling a warning statement that recommends close observation of adult and pediatric patients treated with their agents for worsening depression or the emergence of suicidality. The antidepressant drugs are fluoxetine Prozac ; , sertraline Zoloft ; , paroxetine Paxil ; , fluvoxamine Luvox ; , citalopram Celexa ; , escitalopram Lexapro ; , buproprion Wellbutrin ; , venlafaxine Effexor ; , nefazodone Serzone ; , and mirtazapine Remeron ; . Several of these drugs are approved for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder in pediatric patients sertraline, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine ; . Only fluoxetine is approved for use in children with major depressive disorder. None of these drugs are approved as monotherapy in treating bipolar depression, either in adults or children, and fluvoxamine is not approved as an antidepressant in the U.S. To read more go to: : medscape viewarticle 472364.
MAP PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- Continued ; Option activity under both the 2005 Plan and the 2007 Plan is as follows.
Objective: To review the literature for reported cases of mania related to discontinuing antidepressant treatment, as well as for possible explanations of this phenomenon, and to present a case report. Method: We undertook a literature review through the PubMed index, using the key words mania, antidepressant withdrawal, and antidepressants in bipolar disorder. We reviewed 11 articles featuring 23 cases. Where available, we noted and tabulated certain parameters for both bipolar disorder BD ; and unipolar depression. We use a case example to illustrate the phenomenon of mania induced by antidepressant withdrawal. Results: For patients with unipolar depression, we found 17 reported cases of mania induced by antidepressant withdrawal. Antidepressants implicated included tricyclic antidepressants TCAs ; 12 17 ; , monoamine oxidase inhibitors MAOIs ; 2 17 ; , trazodone 1 17 ; , mirtazapine 1 17 ; , and paroxetine 1 17 ; . For patients with BD, we found 19 reported cases of mania induced by antidepressant withdrawal, including our own case example. Of these, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs ; 10 19 ; , TCAs 4 19 ; , MAOIs 2 19 ; , and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibiors SNRIs ; 2 19 ; were implicated. Conclusion: Our case report supports the observation of antidepressant withdrawal induced mania in patients with BD. It is distinguishable from antidepressant-induced mania, physiological drug withdrawal, and mania as a natural course of the illness. Many theories have been put forward to explain this occurrence. Noradrenergic hyperactivity and "withdrawal-induced cholinergic overdrive and the cholinergic-monoaminergic system" are the 2 most investigated and supported models. The former is limited by poor clinical correlation and the latter by its applicability only to anticholinergic drugs.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of mirtazapine in patients with comorbidities in everyday clinical practice in Germany. Method: A total of 21, 891 depressed patients were treated with mirtazapine for six weeks. The patients were divided in different groups on the basis of comorbidities and reanalyzed i.e. hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart insufficiency, disturbances in heart rhythm, myocard infarct, angina pectoris, etc. ; . Clinical efficacy and tolerability were both rated by the physicians and the patients. Results: `Very good' or `good' efficacy was seen in a vast majority 80% ; in these groups of patients by the treating physicians, while patients rated mirtazapine's efficacy `very good' or `good' in about 75% of the cases. The treating physicians rated tolerability `very good' or `good' in 95% of the patients and again the patients rated a little lower 90% ; . Conclusion: These results show that mirtazapine is a very efficacious and well-tolerated antidepressant in patients with comorbidities.

PILOT TRIAL OF TOPICAL BEXAROTENE GEL IN MILD TO MODERATE PLAQUE PSORIASIS Debra L Breneman, MD, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, United States, Pranav Sheth, MD, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, United States, Victor Stevens, PhD, Ligand Pharmaceuticals, San Diego, CA, United States To examine the potential activity of bexarotene gel in psoriasis, a phase II open-label pilot study was conducted in 24 patients with moderate plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a T-cell driven disease that responds to retinoids. Bexarotene is an RXR-binding molecule that is approved for another T-cell disease, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Patients had a median body surface involvement with psoriasis of 9% range 5-14% ; . Treatment with bexarotene gel was escalated weekly from QOD to BID, with the option to increase it to QID. Treatment continued for 16 weeks, with the option to continue for 24 weeks for responding patients. The face, scalp, and intertrigenous areas could be treated with a lower frequency of bexarotene gel, could be left untreated, or could be treated with topical hydrocortisone. No other treatments for psoriasis were allowed. Patients were evaluated for efficacy and safety at least every 2 weeks to Week 8 of the study and then every 4 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated by a physician's global assessment PGA ; , the area involved with psoriasis and the severity of erythema, plaque elevation and scaling. Patients evaluated pruritus and their global condition relative to baseline at each visit. Interim results in 18 of patients who were evaluable demonstrated a 67% response rate by the PGA at 50% improvement in disease. Half of responding patients 33% ; achieved a 75% clearing of psoriasis. Reductions in the area involved and in severity scores of signs of psoriasis correlated with the improvement assessed by PGA scores. Responding patients evaluated their psoriasis to be between 60-100% improved, and the mean score in itch improved from moderate 4 ; at baseline to less than mild 1 ; or none 0 ; at response. The median time to first response was 4 weeks range 2-6 weeks ; . Adverse events consisted primarily of application site irritation, rash, and burning or stinging. These were mild to moderate in severity and reversible after adjusting the treatment frequency regimen. In this study, bexarotene gel was demonstrated to be efficacious and well-tolerated in treating psoriasis for most patients. Bexarotene gel may be useful as an alternative therapy for mild to moderate psoriasis.

| Mirtazapine 500Knowledge of the natural history of NASH is not precise since few studies with a long-term follow-up and histologic control have been performed in these patients. Simple steatosis has a good prognosis. A series of 40 patients was followed over a mean of 11 years with no observed progression of the lesions in any of the patients [76]. In another series of 49 patients with simple steatosis, only one died due to liver-related causes [77]. Despite the similarity of the lesions and their pathogenesis, NASH has better prognosis than alcoholic hepatitis, although the lesions may also progress to cirrhosis and even and selegiline.
General Somnolence: The use of Remeron mirtazapine ; Tablets was associated with somnolence in 54% of patients in U.S. short-term controlled studies, compared to 18% with placebo. In these studies somnolence resulted in discontinuation of 10% of mirtazapine-treated patients compared to 2% of placebo-treated patients. REMERON RDTM mirtazapine ; Orally Disintegrating Tablets may cause mental or motor impairment because of this prominent sedative effect. Thus, patients should be cautioned about engaging in hazardous activities, such as driving a car or operating dangerous machines, until they are reasonably certain that REMERON RDTM therapy does not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Clinical Implications Mood disorders and sleep disorders are mutually affected; for example, depression can induce or be induced by sleep disorders. Mi5tazapine significantly increases sleep quality. Mirtazap8ne rapidly decreases depressive symptoms in MDD patients. Limitations The study's open design was its major limitation. The study measured various sleep and symptomatic variables at multiple time points; however, it could not distinguish differences between the sexes because most 87.5% ; of the subjects were women. The sample size was small and ziprasidone.

Non-responsive to citalopram. Bupropion acts via the noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems and thus theoretically may have an advantage when added to an SSRI. SSRI + mianserin Tolvon ; or mirtazapine Remeron ; has the theoretical advantage of utilizing two classes of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Mianserin and mirtazapine are presynaptic alpha-2 noradrenergic blockers. The combination was found to be effective in three double-blind studies [17-19]. In the study by Carpenter et al, mirtazapine added to an SSRI was shown to increase the response rate from 20% placebo ; to 65% in SSRI non-responsive patients. Mirtazapine + venlafaxine was given to a group of highly resistant patients in the 4th level of the STAR * D Trial, i.e. patients who had not responded adequately to treatment in three prior prospective medication trials. The remission rate was 13.7%, which was not statistically different from 6.9% for monotherapy with tranylcypromine, a MAOI. E. Augmentation This strategy refers to adding a drug that is not an antidepressant. 1 ; Lithium augmentation has been used for over 40 years. It was found to be highly effective in older studies. However, more recent studies have been rather disappointing [20-22]. The reason might be that older studies done in 19701990 did not exclude cases of bipolar depression, which respond better to lithium treatment. In the STAR * D Trial, which recruited only patients with unipolar depression, patients who failed to respond to two levels of treatment were randomized to receive lithium or T3 augmentation. The remission rate was 15.9% for lithium versus 24.7% for T3. Overall clinical experience shows that about 20% of patients are intolerant to the side effects of lithium, which include polyuria, polydipsia and tremor. Blood level has to be monitored to a target lithium level of 0.81 mmol L. 2 ; Thyroid augmentation of TCAs offers better evidence than it does with the newer antidepressants. T3 in doses of 2550 g daily is preferred to T4, but T4 has also been found to be effective in some studies [23]. Super-physiological doses 400 500 g day ; of T4 have been used in an open study to treat patients who are severely resistant to therapy. The antidepressant effect was excellent with 50% of patients responding well. Tolerance was good [24]. 3 ; Buspirone augmentation of SSRis Buspirone is a 5HT1A partial agonist. There are two placebo-controlled studies which showed effects similar to placebo, but in one of the studies it was effective for patients with severe depression [25, 26]. In the STAR * D trial, the remission rate for buspirone augmentation 1030 mg bd ; for patients failing to respond to citalopram was 30%. 4 ; Pindolol is a -blocker and a 5HT1A antagonist. It is used at 2.5 mg tds. Clinically it is observed to accelerate response to SSRIs. However, in controlled trials it was shown to be ineffective in the treatment of resistant depression. 5 ; Dopaminergic agonist augmentation Pergolide 0.252 mg day, amantadine 100200 mg bid, pramipexol 0.1251 mg tid, and ropinirole 0.51.75 mg tid have been found to be useful in some patients, supported by open trials. 6 ; Stimulants Methylphenidate Ritalin ; , dextroamphetamine Dexedrine ; and modafinil Provigil ; were effective in some open trials. These drugs have a rapid onset of action, but the therapeutic effect may be transient. They also have the problem of increasing anxiety and irritability, and the risk of abuse. 7 ; Atypical antipsychotics are supported by small open trials. Olanzapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, ziprasidone and quetiapine have been used. They are particularly useful for patients with agitation and psychotic depression [27]. 8 ; Anticonvulsants Lamotrigine, gabapentin, carbamazepine, valproate and topiramate have been tried with variable success, but are not supported by good controlled trials. 9 ; Benzodiazepines Lormetazepam Loramet ; has been shown to augment TCAs [28] and clonazapam Rivotril ; augments fluoxetine [29]. They have the added advantage of controlling anxiety symptoms. 10 ; Health foods Eicosapentaenoic acid EPA ; at a dose of 1 g not 2 g or daily has been found to be effective in augmentation. Methylfolate and S-adenosyl methionine SAMe ; are methyl donors that promote neurotransmitter synthesis. They are effective for augmentation of SSRIs in small open trials. Double-blind controlled trials are underway and doxepin.

Research Reveals Connection Between Sleep Disorders and School Readiness Researchers at the University of Haifa found a higher rate of sleep disorders among kinder garteners who are evaluated and found not ready for first grade than among their peers who are ready. Although it is widely accepted that many children suffer from sleep disorders, and that sleep disorders are somehow connected to learning disabilities, concentration and behav ioral problems, most sleep disorders among children remain undiagnosed. The researchers at the University of Haifa searched for a connection between sleep patterns and reading readiness. : newswise p articles view 526702 Light At Night Is Dangerous To Health Night life under electric lighting may cause serious behavioral disorders and physical diseases in cluding cancer, according to a specialist team led of the Professor N.N. Pertov Scientific Research Institute of Oncology, Russian Ministry of Healthcare, and Petrozavodsk State University, who have been investigating the effects of nighttime illumination on people's health for several years. The researchers summarized findings of their own investigations and extensive foreign experience, medical statistics and data of experiments carried out on rodents. Permanent bright light sup presses synthesis of melatonin, the hormone that impacts the endocrine system work and prevents cancerous growth formation and development. The more intense the nighttime light, the stronger it suppresses the melatonin synthesis. Some people are more sensitive to nighttime illumination's action than others, for exam ple, women are generally more sensitive than men. Light pollution can cause premature reproductive system age ing, and increase the risk of breast cancer and large intestine cancer in women. Night workers and pilots more of ten suffer from large intestine or rectal cancers. In addition, irregular light can causes sleep disturbance, gastroin testinal and cardiovascular diseases, metabolic derangements and, possibly increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. : medicalnewstoday medicalnews ?newsid 61808 Efficacy of Mirtazapine in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Daily administration of 4.5 to 15 mg of mirtazapine for 1 week reduces AHI by half in adult patients with OSA. This represents the largest and most consistent drugtreatment effect demonstrated to date in a controlled trial. These findings suggest the therapeutic potential of mixedprofile serotonergic drugs in OSA and provide support for future studies with related formulations. Mirtazapine also is associated with sedation and weight gain2 negative side effects in patients with OSA. In view of the above, we do not recommend use of mirtazapine as a treatment for OSA. : journalsleep ViewAbstract x?citationid 3116 and buspirone and Order mirtazapine.

In Level 1, all participants received citalopram. In Level 2, participants could be assigned to treatment switch, in which case citalopram was stopped and participants could receive sustained-release bupropion, sertraline, extended-release venlafaxine, or cognitive therapy, or they could be assigned to one of three augmentation treatments, in which case citalopram was continued and sustainedrelease bupropion, buspirone, or cognitive therapy was added. In Level 2A, which was available only to Level 2 participants who had received either cognitive therapy alone or cognitive therapy plus citalopram, participants switched either to sustained-release bupropion or to extended-release venlafaxine. In Level 3, participants either switched to nortriptyline or mirtazapine or received augmentation treatment with lithium or T3 and hydroxyzine.
Mirtazapine is a "Noradrenergic and Specific Serotonergic Antidepressant". This means it increases the amount of certain chemicals in the brain called norepinephrine and serotonin. It is believed that some brain chemicals, such as norepinephrine and serotonin, are not working well in people who are depressed. The exact way that mirtazapine improves the symptoms of depression is still not fully known.

Lamic-pituitary-adrenocortical HPA ; system dysregulation observed in depressed patients Holsboer 2000 ; . It remains unclear whether the acute inhibition of COR and ACTH secretion by mirtazapine in healthy volunteers can also be seen in depressed patients. Therefore, future studies need to investigate the influence of mirtazapine on HPA axis activity in depressed patients, for example by measuring the UFC or by using the combined dexamethasone suppression CRH stimulation test as parameter during long-term treatment with mirtazapine. If there is an acute reduction of COR and ACTH secretion patterns in depressive patients also, it might be of interest whether these endocrinological effects are related to clinical outcome. In this context it has to be mentioned that mianserin, the precursor in the development of mirtazapine with similar biochemical properties, has been shown to rapidly normalize non-suppression during the dexamethasone-suppression test in depressed patients King et al. 1987 ; . In addition to new pharmacological approaches such as CRH1 receptor antagonists Holsboer 2000 ; , mirtazapine may also be an effective strategy to restore HPA system dysregulation in depression.

Canada -- Health Canada is advising that newborns may be adversely affected when pregnant women take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs ; and other newer antidepressants during the third trimester of pregnancy. The advisory is intended to increase awareness among mothers and physicians of the possible symptoms that may occur in the newborn, so that symptoms can be recognized and addressed quickly and applies to the following SSRIs: bupropion whether used for depression or for smoking cessation ; , citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine, paroxetine, sertraline and venlafaxine. International and Canadian reports reveal that some newborns whose mothers took these medications during pregnancy have developed complications at birth requiring prolonged hospitalization, breathing support and tube feeding. Reported symptoms include: feeding and or breathing difficulties, seizures, muscle rigidity, jitteriness and constant crying. In most cases, the newer antidepressant was taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. These symptoms are consistent with either a direct adverse effect of the antidepressant on the baby, or possibly a discontinuation syndrome caused by sudden withdrawal from the drug. When treating depression in pregnant women, physicians and patients should carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of the various treatment options for both the mother and the unborn baby. To date, there is little evidencebased information on how best to treat depression during pregnancy. However, physicians may consider slowly decreasing the dose of these medications in the third trimester. It is very important that patients do NOT stop taking these medications without first consulting their doctor. The frequency of symptoms may vary with each drug. In the case of two of the newer antidepressants -- bupropion and mirtazapine -- discontinuation problems appear to be less than with the other drugs. In the case of mirtazapine, there are only two reports. The manufacturers of these medications will update their labelling with new precaution information.
