general absence
ethosuxmide
valproic acid
tx for status epilepticus
IV lorazepam
NTs make too much excitation
glutamate
aspartate
Its make to little inhibition
gaba
block Na ch and glutamate receptors and NMDA receptors
felbamate
used to seizures
SE: aplastic anemia and liver damage
felbamate
increases Gaba release
inhibits glutamate release by blocking N type Ca ch presynaptically
gabapentin
used in seizures, neuropathic pain (shingles)
gabapentin
blocks axonal Na ch in inactivated state
phenytoin
Carbamazepine
used in seizures
induces p450
zero order kinetics - dose dependent
phenytoin
SE: CNS depression, gingival hyperplasia, hirsutism, osteomalacia, megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia,
teratogenic - cleft lip and palate
phenytoin
used in seizures and bipolar
DOC for trigeminal neuralgia
Carbamazepine
induces p450
SE: CNS depression, agranulocytosis, osteomalacia, megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia, exfoliative dermatitis, increase ADH (hyponatremia)
teratogenic - spina bifida and cleft lip and palate
Carbamazepine
