Antipsychotics- Segars Flashcards
what antipsychotic drug do you use for recurrent suicidal behavior
clozapine
what antipsychotic do you use for Parkinson disease psychosis
Pimavenserin
what is the Schizophrenia hypothesis
there is direct overstimulation go D2 leading to increased dopamine
there is indirect overstimulation of dopamine through increase serotonin
there is decreased NMDA and GABA which leads to increase Dopamine (usually GABA will inhibit dopamine)
positive symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with what pathway
mesolimbic pathway
VTA to the NA (nucleus accumbens)
negative symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with what pathway ?
mesocortical pathway
VTA to cortex
positive symptoms of schizophrenia
hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech/thinking, abnormal motor behavior, agitation
negative symptoms of schizophrenia
apathy, cognitive deficits, social withdrawal
*harder to treat
D1,5 “G protein”
stimulatory
D2,3,4. “G protein”
inhibitory
dopamine effects on the nigrostriatal pathways lead to?
stimulation of purposeful movement/EPS
antispychotics increase dopamine where it is lacking and also where it is already abundant (non selectivE)
dopamine effects in the tuberinfundibular pathway leads to
prolactin release
first generation antipsychotics
Chloropromazine
Fluphenanzine
Thioridazine
Trifluoperazine
Haloperidol
Loxapine
Molindone
Pimozide
Thiothiexene
-zine, Haloperidol and then the rest
what is the primary difference between 1st and 2nd generation antipsychotics
reduced movement disorders (EPS) in 2nd gens
the first generation antipsychotics primarily block the _ post synaptic receptors
dopamine D2
the first generation antipsychotics along with blocking the dopamine receptors also blocks what other receptors?
muscarinic (anticholinergic)
alpha adrenergic (a1)
histamine (H1)
muscarinic blockade effects from 1st gen antipsychotics
(anti cholingeric)
-dry mouth
-contipation
-urinary retention
-blurred vision
-sedation
alpha adrenergic blockade effects from 1st gen antipsychotics
orthostatic hypotension
dizziness/syncope
histamine blockade effects from 1st gen antipsychotics
sedation
what are some other side effects 1st generation antipsychotics can cause
QTc prolongation and seizure activity
EPS symptoms when taking 1st generation antipsychotics occurs when the D2 receptors have reach _ percent occupancy
