neuro/psych Flashcards
Long-acting oral opiate. used for heroin and opioid detox and long-term maintenance
methadone
opioid receptor antagonist. used to treat opioid/heroin toxicity. often in conjunction with buprenorphine.
naloxone
partial opioid agonist. long acting. used to treat withdrawal symptoms in opioid/heroin detox. often with naloxone.
buprenorphine
long-acting opioid receptor antagonist used for relapse prevention once detoxified of opioid/herion abuse. also used to treat alcoholism.
naltrexone
inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, allowing acetaldehyde accumulation and hangover symptoms to treat alcoholism

Tourette syndrome
Anti-psychotics (haloperidol, risperidone)
increase catecholamines at synaptic cleft. treat ADHD and narcolepsy.
CNS stimulants: methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, methamphetamine, phentermine.
block D2 receptors to increase cAMP. treat schizophrenia (pos symp), psychosis, mania, Tourette syndrome.
typical anti-psychotics: haloperinol, trifluoperazine, fluphenazine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine.
varied effects on 5-HT2, dopamine, alpha- and H1-receptors. treat schizophrenia (+ and - sympt), OCD, anxiety, depression, mania, tourettes.
atypical anti-psychotics: Onlazapine, clozapine, quetiapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, ziprasidole.
mechanism not understood. mood stabilizer for bipolar, blocks relapse and acute manic events. also SIADH.
lithium
stimulates 5-HT1a receptor. treat: generalized anxiety disorder.
buspirone
5-HT reuptake inhibitors. treat: depression, GAD, panic, OCD, bulemia, social phobias, PTSD.
SSRI: fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram.
inhibit 5-Ht and NE reuptake. treat: depression, GAD, panic disorder.
SNRI: venlafaxine, duloxetine.
block reuptake of NE and 5-H, some dopamine effects. treat: MAjor depression, OCD, and fibromyalgia
TCS: -triptylines, -ipramines, and doxepin and amoxapine.
non-selective MAO ihibition, increases levels of NE, dopamine, and 5-HT. treat: atypical depression, anxiety, hypochondriasis.
MOA inhibitors: tranylcypromine, phenelzine, isocarboxazid, selegiline.
atypical anti-depressant. treat: depression and smoking cessation. increase NE and dopamine.
Bupropion
atypical anti-depressant. alpha-2 antagonist so increase NE and 5-HT release, potent 5-HT2 and 3 receptor antagonist.
Mirtazapine
atypical anti-depressant. treat: depression and insomnia. block 5-HT and alpha-1 receptors.
trazadone
decrease aqueous humor synth via vasoconstriction. treat glaucoma. SE; blurry vision
alpha-agonists: epinephrine, bromonidine (alpha-2)
decrease aqueous humor synth. treat glaucoma. SE; no pupillary or vision changes
Beta-blockers: timolol, betaxolol, carteolol.
decrease aqueous humor synth via inhibition of carbonic acid. treat glaucoma. SE; no pupillary or vision changes
diuretic: acetazolemide
