nonselective reuptake inhib
NOT stimulant
used to dec compulsive drive
bupropion (wellbutrin) ae
tachy, n/v, wt loss, dec seizure threshold, dec appetite (don’t give to pts w/ hx eating disorder)
ADHD- Clonidine
centrally acting alpha agonist
same effect as stim but different MOA
used for impulsivity
clonidine ae
bradycardia, sedation
rebound syndrome if stopped abruptly
stimulant implementation considerations
promote safety
give after meals to reduce anorexia
give at least 6hrs before bed- prevent insomnia
give 30 min before activities w/ food
has shrt half life and fast onset
interaction btw stimulants and OTC meds
avoid otc (cough meds and Sudafed) stimulant toxicity- dec cardiovasc function
