Dopamine
Receptors ass’d with negative sx’s of psychosis
Muscarinic
- Atypical APs tx better
TX for Schizophrenia
- Hospitalize if acutely psychotic
- Atypical AP
- Emergency -> IM OZ = Olanzapine or Ziprazidone, Haloperiodol = AE’s
- Non-compliant => Long acting IM Risperidone. First assess tolerability w oral if 1st time
- Last line - Clozapine if unresponsive to others, Tx-resistant
What is TX-resistant Schizophrenia
Failed response to 2+ trials of AP’s
Pt w command hallucinations, denies SI/HI - next step?
Hospitalize
AE’s of olanzapine
Weight gain
DM
Sedation
Increase LFT’s
