Q

Abstitence syndrome

A

Chronic use downregulates GABA receptor

Increase cholinergic activity and elevates glutamate receptors

Potentially life threatening

Upon withdrawal intense cholinergic activity

Net effect= excitement

Treat

Hospitalization and stabilization with lowest dose that prevents syndrome

Q

Chloral hydrate

A

Oral hypnotic

Rapid acting

GI irritation

Prodrug: active metabolite is trichloroethanol

Wide margin of safety

Enhances CND depressants effects

Used in treatment of mild insomnia

Less effective than BDZ

17
Q

Diphenhydramine, Doxylamine

A

Histamine H1 antagonists

Used in treatment of mild insomnia

Less effective than BDZ

18
Q

Melatonin

A

Made in Pineal gland from Tryptophan

Secreated to diurnal rhythm

Increase in late evening (peak at midnight) Decreae in morning

May decrease insomnia

19
Q

Ramelton

A

Melatonin receptor agonist MT1 and2

For delayd onset sleep

No abuse potential

Minimal rebound insomnia

ADR: dizziness, sleepiness

Interaction: with other depressants

20
Q

Alcohol

A

CNS depressant

GABA receptor allosteric modulator

Decrase Na/ Ca influx
