Q

What is the therapeutic MOA of first gen antipsychotics?

A

Antagonize D2 receptors in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway

(Keep in mind this is non-selective, so antagonism of D2 receptors in other pathways also occurs – but is not therapeutic)

Q

What are other receptor (non-therapeutic targets) effects of first generation antipsychotics?

A

Anti-H.A.M. (antagonize the following:)

H1 receptors: sedation; weight gain (may be related to 5HT2A block, along with glucose intolerance)

Alpha-1 receptors: orthostatic/hypotension, sexual dysfunction, cardiac problems (think arrhythmias), and seizures

Muscarinic receptors: dries everything up

Q

First gen antipsychotics are indicated for what in schizophrenia? Why?

A

Positive symptoms only:

  • hallucinations
  • delusions
  • paranoia

Does not address negative symptoms; can potentially exacerbate negative symptoms.

This is because the first gen meds are non-specific in their dopamine antagonism activity. Decreasing dopamine activity in the mesolimbic system decreases positive symptoms; decreasing dopamine activity in the mesocortical system can INCREASE negative symptoms.

Q

What is the pathophys/etiology of negative symptoms in schizophrenia?

Q

When an first gen antipsychotic drug acts on the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway, what occurs?

A

Dopamine suppresses ACh activity (via GABA), so blocking dopamine –> increased ACh activity –> adverse effects of the extrapyramidal system (EPS)

Dysfunction of the EPS = movement disorders

Deficiency of dopamine = Parkinson’s syndrome

Hyperactivity of dopamine = chorea, tics

Dopamine inhibition = akathisia (tense restlessness), dystonia (uncontrollable contractions/spasms -> repetitive movements), tardive dyskiniesia (similar, often involves face/head - smacking lips, sticking out tongue, etc)

Q

When an first gen antipsychotic drug acts on the tuberoinfundibular dopamine pathway, what occurs?

A

The tuberoinfundibular pathway mediates dopamine from arcuate nucleus to the hypothalmus.

Dopamine release from the hypothalmus inhibits prolactin release from the pituitary gland.

Thus, dopamine blockade in the tuberoinfundibular pathway –> increased prolactin release.

Adverse effects include:

Women: breast engorgement; galactorrhea, amenorrhea

Women and men: sexual dysfunction, infertility

Q

If a patient, who is otherwise stable on their antipsychotic medication, exhibits laryngospasm, what should be done?

A

Laryngospasm (as well as torticollis and oculogyric crisis) are forms of dystonia, which is an EPS side effect caused by increased ACh activity due to reduced dopamine levels.

Dystonia responds to anticholinergics.

Q

If a patient, who is otherwise stable on their antipsychotic medication, exhibits repetitive lip smacking, what should be done?

A

This is a form of tardive dyskinesia, which is an EPS side effect caused by hypersensitivity of dopamine receptors after long-term suppression of dopamine release.

Change this patient’s antipsychotic to a second gen, as these symptoms can become permanent.

Q

Your patient, who is being treated for schizoprenia, presents with agitation, confusion, fever, muscle rigidity, and BP/HR that is all over the place. Labs are run and are remarkable for increased CPK, LDH, and LFTs. What’s going on, and what do you do?

A

This patient has neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which can be fatal. Leukocytosis and/or rhabdomyolysis can be present in these patients.

This patient is most likely on a first generation antipsychotic.

Immediately dc the antipsychotic, give supportive care (ex: IV fluids, cooling blanket if hyperthermia is present).

Consider giving dantrolene, which can address the rigidity and fever.
