Q

MOA of benzodiazepines?

  1. MOA: Potentiate effects of GABA (Remember GABA is inhibitory) → drowsiness, cognitive impairment, dampening of fear and anxiety, impaired balance, motor control, muscle tone and coordination, anterograde amnesia.
  2. Partial agonist at 5HT-1A = ↓serotonergic activity

Q

Clinical considerations regarding benzodiazepines (risks).

  1. Increased fall risk, hip fracture risk
  2. consider nonaddictive anxiolytic alternatives (e.g. gabapentin and antihistamines with anxiolytic properties (e.g. diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine)
  3. Benzodiazepines may interfere with the psychological processes needed to benefit from CBT
  4. high rate of comorbid substance use disorders and lack of efficacy.
  5. note that these patients have depressive symptoms and hence ECT can be considered as a viable option especially in combination with psychotherapy.

Benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepine “Z” drugs can be helpful for sleep but carry risks.

190
Q

We are really trying to reduce the behavior of binging, not prescribe an appetite suppressant, so understanding that the pharmacotherapy is aimed at this rather than the appetite suppression is important. Some medications do have anorexia (loss of appetite, not the disorder, anorexia nervosa) as a side effect. You may be tempted to prescribe one of these to capitalize on that side effect (such as this med). There is some evidence that show it can be helpful in weight loss, however, it is best to prescribe medications that are aimed at reducing the behaviors by reducing compulsions such as SSRIs.

Q

Pharmacological options are few for eating disorders. In the case of anorexia nervosa, pharmacotherapy is not really that helpful at all. These can be helpful in reducing the compulsivity of the eating disorders. Consideration of which one to use can be helped by considering psychiatric co-morbidities such as depression, OCD, chronic pain and other psychosomatic complaints. Be sure to review the existing indications for these so you will be skilled in choosing which one of these might be best for someone with an eating disorder and a comorbidity such as OCD.
