What are the DIs of Asenapine?
What is the evidence for asenapine mainly?
Bipolar disorder

What is the MOA of the 3rd generation antipsychotics?
Partial agonist, therefore it exhibitis some effect
What was the thought process on the third generation AP?
Being a partial agonist they thought they could decrease the number of negative side effects
What major side effect is higher these TGAP?

What is Akathisia?
an inability to remain physically still
What is the MOA of Aripiprazole?
Partal agonist at the 5HT1A and D2, antagonist at 5ht2a site
