Q

Explain why a hypertensive crisis may occur if pt taking MAOI ingests tyramine containing foods

What are the features of a hypertensive crisis?

State some tyramine containing foods

A

Tryamine, found in some food & drinks, is usually inactivated in body by monoamine oxidases; if taking MAOIs these enzymes are inhibited hence tyramine is not broken down. Tyramine causes the release of noradrenaline which has a pressor effect causing raised BP.

Features: headache, palpitations, fever, convulsions, coma

Few examples of tyramine containing foods:

  • Most cheeses
  • Some red wines & beer
  • Cured & smoked meats
  • Marmite

Q

Discuss some key points to consider when deciding which antidepressant to prescribe (9)

A
  • Safety profile: guidelines sugest SSRIs as 1st choice due to safety & effectiveness
  • Patient preference
  • Prior treatment: if previously used antidepressant and was beneficial should try that; if wasn’t beneficial don’t try it
  • Type & severity of depression: use SSRIs first. If SSRI-resistant try SNRIs. If insomnia present or weight gain desired mirtazapine is appropriate.
  • Suicidal ideation: if person has suicidal ideation avoid drugs which are toxic overdoses e.g. TCAs, MAOIs
  • Age & co-morbidities: SSRI’s safest in elderly. Sertraline safest post-MI
  • Drug-drug interactions: may need to avoid blood thinning agents in SSRIs
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding: take caution and use lowest dose. Sertraline safest in preg and breast feeding.
  • History of mania: SSRIs usually safest. Avoid TCAs

Q

What is serotonin syndrome?

What are symptoms?

What causes serotonin syndrome?

State clinical features of serotonin syndrome (describe triad)

What is the management?

A
  • Rare, life-threatening syndrome due to excess synaptic serotonin in the CNS that clinically manifests as the triad of neuromuscular excitation, autonomic effects, and altered mental status. Best thought of as spectrum of toxicity. Occurs within mins-hours of taking meds.
  • Symptoms:
    • Neuromuscular excitation: hypereflexia, myoclonus, tremor
    • Altered mental status: agitation, confusion, hypomania, coma
    • Autonomic: tachycaradia, hyperthermia, sweating, shivering, nausea, diarrhoea
  • Caused by therapeutic use, overdose or drug-drug interactions of serotonergic drugs. Most commonly caused by SSRIs but others (e.g. TCAs, lithium) can cause
  • Clinical features:
    • Cognitive effects: headache, agitation, confusion, coma
    • Autonomic effects: sweating, shivering, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia
    • Neuromuscular effects: myoclonus, tremor, hyperreflexia, convulsions
  • Management:
    • Stop offending drug
    • Supportive e.g. fluids, cooling, sedation & intubation & ventilation if necessary
    • Medications:
      • Mild= benzodiazepines e.g. diazepam
      • Moderate to severe= benzodiazepines and cyproheptadine or chlorpromazine

Summary of do’s and don’ts SSRIs

A
35
Q

Give a generic summary of what order antidepressants usually tried in

*ONLY GENERIC DEPENDS ON FACTORS DISCUSSED

A
  • First line: SSRIs
  • Second line:
    • SNRIs (more rapid onset & more effective)
    • Mitrazapine
  • Third line:
    • TCAs
    • MAOIs
36
Q

When talking about antipsychotics, we often talk about typical (first generation) and atypical (second generation):

  • What is the difference between the two
  • State some examples of tpyical and atypicals
A

Difference is the etent to which they cause extrapyramidal side effects:

  • Typical (1st generation): more extra-pyramidal side effects, tend to bind to muscuranic & histaminic
  • Atypical (2nd generation): less extra-pyramidal side effects, tend to have more serotonergic activity
37
Q

The efficacy of different antipsychotics is similar therefore choice of drug is determined by factors such as side effect profile and previous efficacy- with the exception of _____?

A

Clozapine- it is the only antipyshchotic that has been found to be superior

38
Q

State some example conditions that we treat with antipsychotics

A
  • Schizophrenia
  • Mania
  • Acute & transient psyhcotic disorders
  • Delusional disorders
  • Depression with psychosis
  • Delerium
  • Dementia
  • People with violent or dangerously impulsive behaviour and psychomotor agitation
39
Q

Describe the mechanism of action of antipsychotics; include any differences for typicals and atypicals

A
  • Block dopamine receptors- particulary D2 receptors- in brain to varying degrees; degree to which they bind may account for therapetuic effect and the extra-pyramidal side effects
  • Target mesolimbic & mesocortical pathways in brain
  • Antipsychotics also block adrenergic, muscarinic, histaminergic and 5HT2a receptors to varying degrees.

Typicals have their therapeutic effect by binding to D2 receptors.

Atypicals have their therapeutic effect by binding to D2 (weak) & D4 and 5HT receptors.

*NOTE: aripiprazole is exception in that it is partial D2 agonist and full bindingn decreases dopamine availability by up to 30%

A

Tetrabenazine

56
Q

Antipsychotics cause EPSE via what pathway in brain?

A

Nigrostriatal

Its the ratio of dopamine:acetylcholine in nigrostriatal pathway that is important (not the absolute quantities). If there is too much acetylcholine in relation to dopamine and you cannot increase dopamine activity then antagonise acetylcholine receptors using e.g. procyclidine

57
Q

Discuss the management of acute dystonias as a result of antipsychotic medication

A
  • Stop antipsychotic
  • Administer IM or IV anticholinergics (procyclidine is firs line)

  • Consider long term prophylaxis with anticholinergics
58
Q

Clozapine has some specific side effects you need to be aware of; state these

A
  • Agranulocytosis (low white blood cells- particularly neutrophils)
  • Gastrointestinal hypo-mobility causing constipation and with potential to cause fatal bowel obstruction (most common cause death in clozapine pts)
  • Hypersalivation
  • Myocarditis
  • Induce seizures
59
Q

Which antipsychotic can induce/increase risk of seizures & why?

A

Clozapine- it reduces seizure threshold

60
Q

Dicuss why you must explore smoking & alcohol habits in pts taking clozapine

A
  • Smoking induces the enzymes that metabolise clozapine and hence increase metaobolism of clozpaine- reducing plasma levels
  • Alcohol binges can increase level of clozapine so it pt stops drinking it may reduce clozapine level

Hence if pt changes any of the above then dose may need to be altered

61
Q

Why must clozapine e started in hospital?

A

Can cause profound hypotension when you start it hence in hospital to monitor.

Similary if you stop clozapine, even for 48hrs, you will have to go back to a low dose and work up and this too would require hosp admission

62
Q

Discuss the acute management of clopazine induced agranulocytosis

A
  • Contact consultant haematologist as emergency
  • Stop clozapine
  • Stop any other potentially bone marrow supressing drugs e.g. sodium valporate
  • Avoid other antipsychotics for a couple of weeks where possible (use aripiprazole if this not possible)
  • Avoid sources of infection (e.g. isolate pt)
  • Consider prophylactic broad spectrum antibiotics
  • G-CSF can be used
  • Lithium can be used to increase WCC and neutrophil count
63
