Addiction Management - FLIPPED

Cannabis intoxication occurs via activation of the Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CBI receptor).

A substance that activates the CBI receptor, producing cannabis-like effects.

Effects include euphoria, anxiety, paranoid delusions, slowed time perception, impaired judgment, social withdrawal, increased appetite, dry mouth, bloodshot eyes, and hallucinations.

Nicotine intoxication involves stimulation of the central nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Patient exhibits altered alertness, confusion, disorientation, poor coordination, difficulty with balance, dry mouth, increased appetite, and bloodshot eyes. A history of smoking cigarettes for 20 years is present.

LSD causes perceptual distortions, anxiety, paranoia, psychosis, and flashbacks. Mydriasis (pupil dilation) can occur.

General feedback reviews the specific neurotransmitter mechanisms associated with various types of intoxication and describes their consequences.

A set of symptoms that occur when a person abruptly stops or significantly reduces alcohol consumption after a period of heavy drinking.

Severe form of alcohol withdrawal that includes altered mental status, agitation, and potentially life-threatening symptoms like seizures.

A substance that affects GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve activity; e.g., alcohol.

Chronic alcohol abuse causes a reduction in the number or responsiveness of GABA receptors.

Increased neuronal excitability.

Excessive activity of the sympathetic nervous system causing symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and sweating.

Symptoms include anxiety, tachycardia, hypertension, diaphoresis, tremors, altered mental status, and visual hallucinations, occurring a few days after stopping alcohol.

Regular heavy alcohol use over an extended period.

Characterized by euphoria, grandiosity, dilated pupils, prolonged wakefulness, hyperalertness, high blood pressure, paranoia, fever, and possible skin sores. Severe cases may lead to cardiac arrest or seizures.

Causes ataxia (loss of coordination) and mild respiratory depression. Has a wide safety margin.

Causes perceptual distortions (seeing or hearing things that aren't there), anxiety, paranoia, psychosis, and dilated pupils.

Symptoms include irritability, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, and weight gain.

Characterized by a crash after use, leading to dysphoria, anhedonia (loss of pleasure), anxiety, low energy, depression, increased appetite, sleep problems, and agitation.

Causes significant autonomic nervous system symptoms (sweating, nausea, vomiting, fast heart rate, high blood pressure), neurological symptoms (seizures, tremors), and potentially memory problems, and withdrawal psychosis.

Symptomatic treatment, including fluid therapy, managing fever, blood pressure, and heart rhythm issues, along with benzodiazepines (for seizures).

Flumazenil and supportive care based on the overdose severity.

Symptomatic treatment for the intoxication itself and psychosocial support for withdrawal
