Q

EPS s/s and how to treat

A

dystonias - muscle contractions
- anticholinergics IV/IM (benadryl and benztropine) and IM benzos can help - want fast acting
- decrase dose or dc med

pseudo-parkinsonisms
- anticholinergics can help
- decrase dose or dc med

akathisia - anx and restlessness
- PO propranolol can help

tardive dyskinesia - permanent and hard to mask/hide
- dc med
- may try -benazines (VMAT2)
- do NOT use anticholinergics - will mask s/s delaying dx

Q

BBW for ALL antipsychotics

A

Dementia related psychosis, increased all cause mortality in pts with dementia

UNLESS the primary indication for usage is for an approved psychiatric use (e.g. schizophrenia), then ok to use
- would still avoid lurasidone though d/t increase ADR in pts with dementia/Lewy bodies/Parkinson’s

24
Q

Which antipsychotic has opthalmic effects (cataracts AE)

A

Quetiapine

25
Q

Clozapine special AE and DDI

A

AE
- salivation (despite it being very very very anticholinergic effects) - try scopolamine patches behind the ear to help reduce
- fatal constipation (because it is very very very anticholinergic)

DDI
- benzos - respiratory depression
- carbamazepine - will lower ANC (the lab value we monitor in REMS for clozapine)

26
Q

Which antipsychotics have the greatest QTc prolonging properties and after what point do we consider someone’s QTc prolonged?

A

450 mms

  • chlopromazine
  • thioridazine
  • iloperidone
    while these are the most prolonging, ALL antipsychotics are prolonging
27
Q

General first gen antipsychotic AE

A

EPS
QTc prolongation
prolactin elevation
deramtologic
photosensitivity
blue-gray skin
orthostatic hypotension
altered thermoregulation

28
Q

T/F: Second gen antipsychotic injections are better tolerated than first gen

A

True

the injectables for second gen are water based and hurt a lil less on injection

29
Q

General second gen antipsychotic AE

A

metabolic syndrome
- hypertriglyceridemia
- hyperglycemia
- weight gain (waist circumfernce)
QTc prolongation
blood dyscarsia/neutropenias → increased risk of infection (not dose related; clozapine is a big offender here)
lowers seisure threshold (pt more likely to have sezure)
anticholinergic effects
sedation
prolactin elevation (d/t dopamine blockade)
