which of the following is FALSE about the disease course of schizophrenia?
a. onset late adolescence to early adulthood
b. men - late teens, early 30s
c. women - late 20s, early 30s
b. men - late teens, early 30s
(should be early 20s not early 30s)
T or F: Smoking is associated with induction of 3A4, not due to nicotine, but because of hydrocarbons produced and inhaled, which decreases the serum concentration of 3A4 substrate antipsychotics (olanzapine, asenapine, clozapine, loxapine)
F (should be 1A2)
T or F: Marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamine use can hasten the onset of schizophrenia, exacerbate symptoms, and reduce time to relapse
T
T or F: mental health and substance use tx should be undertaken at the same time for schizophrenia pts
T
things we must consider for antipsychotic drug therapy (just look at slide 6; there’s a lot of them)
ok you got it
______ antipsychotic drug therapy is generally considered first-line, unless the pt presents with reasons to consider IM depot drug therapy first
oral
typical antipsychotics are older agents, and are primarily ___ receptor antagonists
a. D1
b. D2
c. D3
d. D4
b. D2
T or F: efficacy for positive symptoms for typical antipsychotics is better than atypical antipsychotics
F (similar efficacy)
typical antipsychotics (6 drugs)
haloperidol
fluphenazine
loxapine
chlorpromazine
perphenazine
thioridazine
which of the following is FALSE about typical antipsychotics?
a. haloperidol is most commonly used - routine and PRN
b. more EPS with higher potency typicals
c. effective for treating negative symptoms, but likely to worsen positive and cognitive symptoms
c. effective for treating negative symptoms, but likely to worsen positive and cognitive symptoms
(effective for positive sx, but likely to worsen negative and cognitive sx)
what are positive symptoms? (from internet)
any change in behavior or thoughts, such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech or thought/behavior
what are negative symptoms? give some examples (from internet)
sx are related to motivation and interest
-anhedonia = lack of interest, enjoyment
-avolition = lack of motivation
-emotionless and flat appearance
typical oral antipsychotics are very effective for which symptoms, positive or negative?
positive (makes negative worse)

aripiprazole
brexpiprazole
cariprazine
which of the following partial agonists is only a 3A4 substrate?
a. aripiprazole
b. brexpiprazole
c. cariprazine
c. cariprazine
(the other two are 2D6 and 3A4 substrates)
how do partial agonists work?
they “stablilize” dopamine transmission - not too much, not too little
partial agonists are associated with more _________ than other antipsychotics
akathisia
partial agonists are approved for adjunct tx in ________ so all have boxed warnings for _______
depression; suicidal thoughts/behaviors
atypical antipsychotics are antagonists of what two receptors? (not bolded)
D2 and 5HT2A antagonists
which of the following causes the least amount of weight gain?
a. aripiprazole
b. brexpiprazole
c. cariprazine
a. aripiprazole
(aripiprazole -> low weight gain; the other two cause low-moderate weight gain)
what are the 4 “Pine” atypical antipsychotic drugs?
asenapine
clozapine
olanzapine
quetiapine
T or F: the “pines” cause more weight gain than other agents (not bolded)
T
which of the following comes in a sublingual and patch formulation?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine
d. quetiapine
a. asenapine
which of the following is NOT a 1A2 substrate?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine
d. quetiapine
d. quetiapine
(the rest are 1A2 substrates)
which of the following does NOT cause QTc prolongation?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine
d. quetiapine
c. olanzapine
which of the following has a boxed warning for suicidal ideation?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine
d. quetiapine
d. quetiapine
which of the following causes the most significant weight gain and sedation?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine
d. quetiapine
c. olanzapine
which of the following has a high risk of metabolic syndrome and has a DRESS warning?
a. asenapine
b. clozapine
c. olanzapine

d. quetiapine
a. asenapine
how often should an asenapine patch be applied?
one patch every 24 hours; make sure to rotate patch site

T
what are the monitoring timelines for clozapine REMS?
weekly x 6 months,
