(816 cards)
low potency first generation neuroleptics
chlopromazine, thioridazine
high potency first generation neuroleptics
trifluoperazine, fluphenazine, haloperidol
antispychotic MOA
block D2 receptors
Side effects of first gen neuroleptics
acute dystonia first, akasthisa, parkinson, tardive
atypical antpsychotics MOA
partial D2 antagonists and have varying effects on other neurotransmitters. Tend to decreased positive and negative symptoms
olanzapine SE
obestity
clozapine SE
agranulocytosis- moniter WBC weekly
risperidone SE
hyperprolactinemia
lithium SE
tremor, nephrogenic DI, hypothyroid, Ebsteins anomaly
why does lithium cause DI
it impairs the principle cells in the collecting tubule causing no water to be reabsorbed. Otherwise, it is reabsorbed in the PCT with Na
buspirone- MOA, uses
partial agonist of serotonin receptors, slow onset of action but used for GAD. Does not cause addiction, tolerance, or sedation. Does not interact with alcohol
SSRI MOA and SE
can induce mania in patients with bipolar disorder, can have SIADH and sexual dysfunction, it is a serotonin repute inhibitor because it blocks the SERT. Can have some GI distress
SNRI MOA and SE
inhibit SERT and NEt transporters to increase SE and NE in the synapse. Increase BP and stimulant effects and sedation and nausea
fluoxetine use
bulimia
venlafaxine use
social anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, OCD
serotonin syndrome
increase in serotonin with clonus hyperrflexia, hypertonia, tremor and seize, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, diarrhea, and agitation
treatment for serotonin syndrome
cyproheptadine- antihistamine with anti SE properties
TCA- MOA and SE
block reuptake of NE and SE. It can cause sedation from alpha 1 effects and postural hypotension and atropine like side effects (ALICE), can prolong QT interval. Can have confusion and hallucination in elderly
TCA overdose
convulsions, coma, cardiotoxic from Na blockade in the heart leading to arrhythmia. treat with sodium bicarb.
MOAI MOA and SE
nonselective MAO inhibition and increase levels of neurotransmitters like NE, DA and Se. can have hypertensive crisis after ingestion of tyramine. CNS stimulation.
how long do you have to wait before starting antidepressants after starting and MAOI
2 week washout period to prevent serotonin syndrome
bupropion MOA
increased DA nd NE. for smoking cession.
what patients are contraindicated for bupropion
anorexic and bulimic patients have seizures
mirtazapine MOA
alpha 2 agonist which increases NE and SE. H1 antagonist. Sedation and increased appetite and weight gain.
