Study Notes
Depression Treatments
- Duloxetine treats chronic neuropathic pain. Its active metabolite is desvenlafaxine.
- Selegiline, a transdermal patch, is effective in patients unresponsive to SSRIs and TCAs.
- Venlafaxine targets serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake.
Pain and Opioids
- Morphine targets Mu receptors and is a pure agonist.
- Naloxone reverses opioid overdose; a pure antagonist.
- Buprenorphine limits respiratory depression and abuse potential, acting as a partial Mu agonist.
- Suboxone combines Buprenorphine and Naloxone.
- Pentazocine is an analgesic with dysphoric effects; a weak Mu antagonist and Kappa agonist.
- Fentanyl is a Mu antagonist.
- Tramadol is a mixed agonist.
- Laudanum is a mixture of alcohol and opioids.
Pain Management (Non-Opioid)
- Aspirin and other NSAIDs decrease inflammation.
- Gabapentin and Pregabalin decrease nociceptor excitation.
- Opioids decrease neurotransmitter release by nociceptors.
- Antidepressants and opioids activate anti-pain pathways.
- Opioids influence cognitive and emotional processing.
Sleep Medications
- Ramelteon is a melatonin agonist.
- Suvorexant is an orexin receptor antagonist.
- Caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist.
- Barbiturates and alcohol suppress REM sleep.
- Z-drugs (Zaleplon, Zolpidem, Eszopiclone) are short- to mid-acting sleep aids.
Psychedelics
- Scopolamine is an anticholinergic used for sedation and twilight anesthesia.
- Psilocybin, found in mushrooms, is chemically similar to serotonin.
- MDMA enhances communication and empathy.
- LSD causes visual, auditory, and space/time distortions.
- Mescaline is chemically similar to dopamine and norepinephrine.
Cannabis Treatment
- Rimonabant is a cannabinoid antagonist that suppresses appetite.
- Carboxy THC is used in urine tests to detect THC.
Alcohol Treatment
- Diazepam prevents withdrawal seizures.
- Disulfiram prolongs the unpleasant effects of alcohol to deter relapse.
- Naltrexone prevents relapse.
- Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant.
Addiction Treatment
- Naloxone is a heroin antagonist.
- Methadone is a heroin agonist.
- Nicotine patches are a cigarette alternative.
- Varenicline (Chantix) is a partial nicotine agonist.
- Disulfiram (Antabuse) is an alcohol aversive treatment.
- Suboxone is an aversive treatment for opioids.
