- Smoking is associated with inductions of 1A2 because of the hydrocarbons produced and inhaled, decreasing the concentration of 1A2 substrate antipsychotics [NOT BECAUSE OF NICOTINE]
- Olanzapine, Clozapine, Asenapine, Loxapine
How does illicit drugs affect the development of Schizophrenia?
- Marijuana, Cocaine, and Amphetamine use can hasten the onset of Schizophrenia, EXACERBATE symptoms, and REDUCE time to relapse

- Dose per day
- Side Effects [Tolerance? Other Risk Factors?]
- Previous Drug Therapy [Good or Bad? Family History]

- Concomitant Drug Therapy
- Monitoring [Labs? Weight? ECG?]
What are the clinical pearls for the typical antipsychotics in Schiziophernia?
- Haloperidol is the MOST COMMON due to routine and PRN [Prolongs QT & Only blocks Dopamine]
- More EPS with HIGHER potency
- Effective for POSITIVE symptoms but can worsen NEGATIVE and COGNITIVE symptoms
What are the atypical antipsychotics used in Schizophrenia [GAME CHANGERS]?

What is the specific clinical consideration for Aripiprazole?
- Partial Agonist
- Can cause Akathsia, low risk of weight gain or metabolic syndrome
- P450 2D6 and 3A4 sustrate
- LAI must have 2 week or 3 week oral overalap
What is the specific clinical considerations for Asenapine?
- Sublingual or Transdermal; Poor oral bioavailability if swallowed
- Moderate Weight Gains; metabolic syndrome
- P450 1A2 Substrate
What is the specific clinical considerations for Brexpiprazole?
- Partial Agonist
- Akathisia
- P450 2D6 & 3A4 substrate
What is the specific clinical considerations for Cariprazine?

- P450 3A4 Substrate
What is the specific clinical considerations for Clozapine?
- MOST EFFECTIVE
- SE: Agranulocytosis, Cardiomyopathy, Hypersalivation, Hypotension, Metabolic Syndrome, Dose Related Seizures
- P450 1A2 Substrate
- REM – Must monitor ANC weekly x 6 months, Biweekly x6 months, then every 4 weeks
What is the specific clinical considerations for Iloperidone?
- BOXED WARNING: QTc prolongation & Orthostatic Hypertension
- P450 2D6 & 3A4 Substrate
What is the specific clinical considerations for Lumateperone?
- Partial Agonist
- Take with food to enhance absorption
- UGT & 3A4 Substrate
- D1/D2 partial agonist
What is the specific clinical considerations for Lurasidone?
- MUST take with food to imporve bioavailability
- SE: akathisia, Low risk of weight gain/metabolic syndrome
