Lithium toxicity
Drugs that cause lithium toxicity:
Thiazides
Ace inhibitors
Nsaids (not aspirin)
- all decrease renal clearance
Early toxicity
GI: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Late toxicity
Confusion
Ataxia, agitation
Tremors (tx propanolol)
*also hyopcalcemia and hypoparathyrodism
Tx: hemodialysis if severe
If SSRI exposes mania?
D/c SSRI
If mania symptoms persist then can consider
- lithium
- valproate
- quetiapine
- lamotrigine

- symptoms must last at least 1 yr w/o 3 months of symptom free
Tx: 1st line psychotherapy
Stimulants, ssri, mood stabilizers : have been used but eh
The SSRIs/SnRI
SSRI’s increase suicidal thought, not completion
-setraline, escitalopram recommended after acute mi due to low interaction with cardiac drugs, basically the safest of the safe
-setraline - breast feeding
-avoid citalopram post MI as there is dose dependent QT prolongation
-generally avoid paroxetine (Paxil): anticholinergic, causes weight gain, inhibits p-450, most likely to cause withdrawal
- FLUOXETINE: indicated for children, PMS/PMDD, most studied for intermittent explosive disorder, bulimia nerviosa
———————————————-
-venlafaxine causes tachycardia and increased blood pressure
-venlafaxine and fluoxetine are both ACTIVATING
