fast acting, but high risk for dependence/addition, likely to be abused - only used for a limited time for acute sym, 比如戒酒病人在刚刚开始戒酒的初期阶段
2. buspirone (BuSpar): 丁螺环酮
与苯(并)二氮卓正相反：low abuse potential, but slow action (take 2 weeks to become effective): long term maintain for GAD, but little immediate effect
3. b-blocker: control ANS sym (tachycardia)
28

29
what is "cohort study"?
2组人，然后一组exposed to a risk factor (or treatment), 一组没有。比较结果差异，是prospective的比较。特例就是clinic treatment trial
Absolute, relative, and attributable risks are calculated for cohort studies
30
what is "case-control study"?
2组人，一组有specific case/disease, 一组没有。然后追述生病前的history
An example of a case-control study would be one in which the smoking histories of women with and without breast cancer are compared
The odds ratio is calculated for case-control studies.
31
major drawback of MAOI?
potential fatal reaction from interaction of certain food/medication - noradrenergic/hypertensive crisis - lead to stroke or even death)
MAO metablize tyramine 酪胺 in the GI; 用MAOI的抑郁病人如果吃了含tyramine的食物（cheese, beer）或者用拟交感药物，会引起tyramine升高 - 导致高血压危象
代表药物：'tranylcypromine 反苯环丙胺
32
serotonin syn: cause? Cx? how to prevent?
fatal, caused by 1) MAOI + serotonergic analgesic, or 2) MAOI + SNRIs or HCA
needs WASHOUT periods when giving depressed pt. the combination of these drugs: 2 weeks for HCA, 5 wks for SNRIs
33
calculate sensitivity?

tardive dyskinesia 发性运动障碍,
Tardive dyskinesia usually occurs after at least 6 months of starting a high-potency antipsychotic (haloperidol),
and is best treated by changing to a low-potency (thioridazine) or atypical agent (clozapine, risperidone) ; stopping the antipsychotic medication will exacerbate the symptoms.

Case-control study: people with or without the disease are asked about PREVIOUS exposure to the variable
measure: odds ratio
63
calculate ARP (attributable risk percent)?
= (risk in exposed - risk in unexposed)/risk in exposed = (RR-1)/RR
