Q

monoamine theory

A

a decrease in available monoamines causes synaptic connections to be rerouted or lost, this is supported because drugs that increase the amount of monoamines in the cleft help reverse depression

Q

HPA theory

A

increased cortisol and CRH. increased cortisol damages hipocampus so it can’t inhibit CRH so more CRH and more cortisol is made.CRH can inhibit an emotional response in the amygdala and nucleus accumbans. This plus repeated stress causes depression

Q

effect of long term reuptake inhibition

A

Q

what are the secondary ways that reuptake inhibitors may help depression

A

increase cAMP thus increasing growth of neurons, increase BDNF, down regulating post synaptic receptors

31
Q

what is known about antidepresents mechanisms

A

they increase amount of monoanimes in the post synaptic cleft and they cause secondary effects that help

32
Q

what causes a greater chance of withdrawl in antipsychotic drugs

A

shorter half lives

33
Q

anxiety, crying spells, insomina, nausea, vomitting, parasethias, and flu like symptoms (FINISH)are what

A

seratonin withdrawl symptoms

34
Q

this SSRI is an enatmerically pure form of another SSRI

A

ecitalopram

35
Q

at low doses this SNRI is an SSRI

A

venlefaxine

36
Q

which class of drugs can increase BP

A

SNRI

37
Q

BK has narrow-angle glaucoma, which drug can he not take

A

levomilacipran

38
Q

which TCA’s have a higher affinity for serotonin

A

amytriptylan and imapramine

39

if BK is having suicidal thoughts what main drug type should he stay away from and why

A

TCA, has a smaller therapeutic window then others

42
Q

what is mertazapines mechanism of action

A

5-HT and adrenergic antagonist, potent H1 inhibitor, low muscarinic effect

43
Q

weight gain is probably from antagonizing which receptor

A

H1

44
Q

which antipsychotic can be used for nicotine cessation

A

buproprion

45
Q

what is buproprions mechanism

A

unknown but appears to block reuptake

46
Q

which medication should be avoided with seizures

A

buproprion

47
Q

which med should be avoided in alcohol withdrawl, or eating disorders

A

buproprion

48
Q

what are the phenylpipridines

A

nefazadone, vilaxadone

49
Q

what is the triazlopropridine

A

trazdone

50
Q

what is the mechanism of trazadone and nefazadone

A

they block 5 ht

51
Q

what is the mechanism of vilaxadone

A

irreversibly

53

54
Q

A

2 weeks

55
Q

when switching from fluoxetine to phenelizine you should wait

A

5 weeks

56
Q

which SNRI is metabolized by the kidney

A

levomilnacipran

57
Q

which drugs go through glucoronidation

A

SNRI’s, TCA’s, and mirtazapine

58
Q

what does 2B6 metabolize

A

59
Q

which drugs would need to be decreased or avoided if a patient is a poor metabolizer?

A
