| Abstract |
We report a case of a patient initiated on therapeutic doses of sustained-release bupropion for the management of major depressive disorder who subsequently developed acute agitated delirium that required ICU level care. This patient's history was significant for alcohol and cannabis abuse but he was currently detoxified and beyond the withdrawal period. Throughout the course of treatment, all maintenance medications, including bupropion, were discontinued and the patient required escalating doses of benzodiazepines and typical antipsychotics to resolve symptoms. The patient's delirium subsided after approximately 5 days. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2012.
All research outputs
#18,306,425
of 22,665,794 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#867
of 1,071 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,462
of 239,473 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#11
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,665,794 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,071 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 239,473 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
