Q

reuptake inhibitors for anxiety

A

SSRI and TCA

17
Q

reuptake inhibitors for eating disorders

A

anorexia and bulemia - SSRI

obesity - amphetamine and sertraline

18
Q

reuptake inhibitors for behavioural disorders (4)

A

atomoxetine (NA) (non stimulant)
modafinil (H/NA) - enhances cognition when sleep deprived
methylphenidate - stimulant with calming effect
amphetamine salts

19
Q

reuptake inhibitors for addiction (2)

A

bupoprion, atomoxetine for smoking cessation

20
Q

action of ritalin/atomoxetine

A

preferentially restore level of catecholamines, improve impulse control

alpha2a adrenoceptor agonist - NA enhances signals
D1 receptors - decreases noise

21
Q

cause of ADHD

A

cortical hypofunction
dec subcortical dopamine
reduced impulse control in frontal cortex and striatal region

leads to subcortical vs cortical imbalance

22
Q

A

inc 5HT

23
Q

cocaine blockade/amphetamine competition

A

inc DA/inc NA and DA

24
Q

impulse control

A

atomoxetine

amphetamine

25
Q

obesity - sympathomimetic 5HT reuptake inhibitors

A

phentermine/fenfluramine

obesity - CB1 blocker

A

rimonabant

28
Q

obesity - 5HT2C blocker

A

lorcaserrin

29
