Study Notes
Psychotropic Medications Overview
- Chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, and haloperidol are classified as typical antipsychotics.
- Atypical antipsychotics include clozapine, aripiprazole, risperidone, ziprasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, and quetiapine.
Mechanisms of Action
- Typical antipsychotics primarily target dopamine neurotransmitters.
- Atypical antipsychotics affect both serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters.
Side Effects Comparison
- Typical antipsychotics are associated with a higher risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS).
- Atypical antipsychotics lead to fewer EPS side effects.
Symptom Management
- Typical antipsychotics are more effective for treating positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
- Atypical antipsychotics are effective for both positive and negative symptoms.
Medication Classes and Uses
- Benzotropine is an anticholinergic medication used to manage EPS symptoms.
- Lithium belongs to mood stabilizers/antimanic class and is the drug of choice for managing manic episodes and decreasing their frequency.
Lithium: Administration and Monitoring
- Therapeutic lithium levels typically range from 1.0 to 1.5 mEq/L.
- It may take 1-3 weeks for lithium levels to reach therapeutic range, requiring weekly monitoring until stabilized.
- Recommended daily fluid intake for lithium patients is between 2500-3000 ml.
Side Effects of Lithium
- Common side effects include drowsiness, diarrhea, headache, dry mouth, gastrointestinal upset, fine hand tremors, irregular pulse, polyuria, and weight gain.
- Signs of lithium toxicity can include ataxia, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Antidepressant Classes
- Desipramine, amitriptyline, and imipramine are classified as Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs).
- Phenelzine, isocarboxazid, and tranylcypromine are Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs).
- Bupropion and trazodone are categorized as atypical antidepressants.
- Escitalopram, fluoxetine, citalopram, paroxetine, and sertraline are classified as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).
- Duloxetine and venlafaxine are categorized as Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs).
