Exam 2: Tolerance & Dependence Flashcards
Effects of drug decrease with use
tolerance
Effects of drug increase with use
sensitization
tolerance
larger dose for same effect
Cross tolerance
tolerance to 1 drug decreases effects of another
Is tolerance reversible?
Yes
Dose tolerance depend on administration?
Yes
acute tolerance
after 1 administration
drug DISPOSITION TOLERANCE/metabolic tolerance
repeated use , decrease drug available for target
potency reduced after repeated exposure via change in kinetics. Most common cause is bio transformation.
ex: cytoP450 enzymes
Pharmacodynamic tolerance
changes in nerve cell function compensation for repeated use
Explains withdrawal/physical dependence
Behavioral tolerance
tolerance in same environment
State dependent tolerance
tasks learned in drug state better in drug state than non drug state
Sensitization
reverse tolerance
increase drug effect after repeat administration of same dose
How are drug tolerance, physical dependence, and withdrawal related?
Tolerance is you need more for same effect, because body is compensating and if you take away, compensation still there
Substance USE disorders
New DSM-5 designations for psychiatric disorders with features typically associated with addiction.
Pathological patterns of BEHAVIORS
Quicker drugs
more addictive (IV/intranasal)
Positive reinforcement theory
drugs strengthen seeking behavior
Negative reinforcement theory
Want to take drug so withdrawal goes away
incentive sensitization theory
repeated drug use leads to increase in wanting but not liking
Dopamine circuitry theories (KOOB)
anti reward system is increase while reward system decreased.
Koob: allostasis
baseline level changes due to drug
PFC: dorsolateral
Executive function
PFC: ventromedial
motivation
