Psychosis Flashcards
stronger 5-HT2, α-1, and H1 antagonism
weaker D2 receptor antagonism
Atypical antipsychotics (neuroleptic)
Fewer side effects of sedation and hypotension
Antipsychotics (3)
Haloperidol
Fluphenazine
Perphenazine
Are antipsychotics fat soluble?
Yes, highly fat soluble
results in storage for long time in body fat
Clinical uses for Antipsychotics (5)
schizophrenia psychosis acute mania (temporary) Tourettes hiccups (persistent > 48 hours for > 1 month)
Antipsychotic extrapyramidal system (EPS) side effects 4 hours = 4 days = 4 days to 4 weeks = 4 months =
acute dystonia (neck/eye/swallow rigidity)
akathisia
Parkinsonism
tardive dyskinesia
valbenazine and deutetrabenazine MOA
vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor
VMAT: regulates the packaging and release of dopamine, NE & 5HT from neuronal vesicles into the synapse
fluphenazine (antipsychotic) can cause
hypothermia
messes w/ hypothalamus
low potency Antipsychotics have: ↓ EPS side effects ↑ non-specific side effects due to: \_\_\_ receptor antagonism Alpha 1 receptor antagonism Histamine receptor antagonism
Muscarinic
dry mouth/constipation/vision problems
low potency Antipsychotics have: ↓ EPS side effects ↑ non-specific side effects due to: \_\_\_ receptor antagonism Alpha 1 receptor antagonism Muscarinic receptor antagonism
Histamine
sedation
low potency Antipsychotics have: ↓ EPS side effects ↑ non-specific side effects due to: \_\_\_ receptor antagonism Histamine receptor antagonism Muscarinic receptor antagonism
Alpha 1 (orthostatic hypotension/ sexual dysfxn)
dopamine normally inhibits ___ secretion
prolactin
High fever Muscle rigidity Unstable/weird vitals Increased CK, K+, and WBC's \+/- Metabolic acidosis or RBCs in pee
NMS
recent antipsychotic use
- High potency antipsychotic
- Usually first line
- Hyperprolactinemia
- Weight gain
Risperidone
Atypical antipsychotic
Severe weight gain
Very sedating
Olanzipine
Atypical Antipsychotic
Minimal to no weight gain
Increased QTc (Torsades risk)
Ziprasidone
