Q

What drugs

  1. Block presynaptic reuptake of neurotransmitters
  2. interference with vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT)
  3. increase in neurotransmitter release (NE, then DA, then 5-HT each at increasing doses)
A

Stimulants - enhance neurotransmitter transmission by serving as direct and indirect non-catecholamine sympathomimetics

29
Q

What is the main effect of non- stimulant ADHD meds?

A

Enhances neurotransmitter transmission through:

  1. Inhibition of pre-synaptic uptake (atomoxetine)
  2. Agonist of CNS alpha 2A adrenergic receptors (guanfacine/clonidine)
30
Q

How do non-stimulant ADHD meds act as agonists of the CNS alpha 2A receptors (ie. guanfacine and clonidine)?

A
  • modulates noradrenergic tone in Prefrontal cortex enhanced by noradrenergic input from the locus coertuleus
  • direct postsynaptic stimulation of alpha 2A receptors located on the dendritic spines of cortical pyramidal cells–> directly promote functional connectivity of prefrontal cortex
31
Q

What is atomoxetine/Strattera?

A

An extended release non stimulant ADHD medication in capsule form

  • metabloliesd by CYP2d6
  • can cause ocular irritation id capsule are opened
32

33
Q

How is Guanfacine/Intuniv used in ADHD Tx?

34
Q
  • Do not crush, chew, or break tablets
  • Approved for ages 6 years and older
  • Downward dose titration over 1+ weeks (depending on dose) recommended upon discontinuation to reduce risk of rebound HTN
