Main effect strong dopamine blockade movenment disorder- parkisos like disorder best for positive symptoms
big down side high risk of movement disordes EPS - extra paramidal symptoms
second gen atypical example: risperidone - risperdal olanzapine- zyprexia quetiapine- seroquuel zlozapine- clozaril
'fun fact' chlorpromazine same faily as phenothiazine
benifits treat positive and some negative symptoms lower EPS RISK
BIG DOWNSIDE METABOLIC ISSUES (WT GAIN, DIABETES)
CLORAZILE - TX SEVER NUERTOPNEA - LOW BLOOD CELLS - RISK OF INFECTION NUTROPHIL, BLOOD CELL CHECK 1CE WEEK SIGNS OF INFECTION = CHECK IMMIDIATLY EVEN LOW FEVER
MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS HIGH YIELD
EXTRAPYRAMIDAL SYMPTIOMS EPS Caused by dopamine blockade
types : acute dystonia - poor tone , muscle spasm,NECK, FACE,TOUNGE (zofran side affct) akathisia- restlesness (cant sit still ) parkinsonism- tremor suffling, gait
treatment benztropine (cogentin) diphenhydramine (endryl)
anticholergenic = lowers secretions
TD- tardive dyskinesia late often irreverable lip smacking, tounge movements
if you see TD HOLD MEDICINE AND NOTIFY PROVIDER
NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME (NMS) MEDICAL EMERGENCY
SYMPTOMS OF NMS HIGH FEVER SEVER MUSCLE RIGIDITY CONFUSION UNSTABLE BP
ACTION : STOP DRUG IMMEDIATLY ICU LEVAL CARE
OTHER SIDE AFFECTS (OF ANTI PSYCHOTIC) SEDATION ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION - RISE SLOWLY ANTICHOLINERGIC EFFECTS (dRY MOUTH, CONSTIPATION ) PHOTOSENSITVTY
MONITOR (ANTIPSYCHOTICS) MOVMENT CHANGES- SHOULD BE BETTER / COULD BE WORSE VITAL SIGNS WT/ MEABOLIC LABS
EDUCATE CHANGE POSITIONS SLOWLY AVOID ALCOHOL WEAR SUNSCREEN
ASSESS MEDICATION ADHERANCE SYMPTOM MPROVMENT
LITHIUM (MOOD STABIIZIER ) BI POPLAR(MANIA) / AGRESSION STABILIZES MOOD / NOT A SEDITIVE
THERAPUTIC LEVAL 0.6-1.2 (0.5-1.2)
LITHIUM TOXICITY EARLY SIGNS >1.5 N/V Diarrhea tremors lethargy
moderate 2.0+ confusion ataxia slurred speech
severe >2.5 seizires coma death
priority hold lithium and notify provider immediatly
why toxxicty happens dehydration low soidum kidney probelms OD LITHIUM AND SODIUM are closley linked
monitoring serum levals (routine) kidney function thyroid function
patient teaching maiting constant salt intake drink 2-3L fluid/day avoid dehydration (heat,illness) do not stop abruptly
watch for GI symptoms tremors confusion
medication/ treats/ big risk antipsychotics/ psychosis / EPS/NMS LIthium/ mania/tioxixicty
EPS GIVE BENZTROPINE (COGINTIN, BENDRYL)
NMS = STOP DRUG IMMEDIDIATLY
LITHIUM TOXIXITY HOLD + CALL PORVIDER
ATYPICAL ANITPSYCHOTICS= METOBOLIC SYNDROME RISK - DIABETES / WT GAIN
EPS= Extra problems with movemnt
lithium= low sodium = danger
NMS no movement sever fever
lithium therptuitic 0.6-1.2
toxic lithium = 1.5>
toxic signs vomiting tremors confusion
anytispychotics treat positive symtoms
major s/a EPS tardive dyskinsia neuroleptic malignant syndrome

LITHIUM - TOXIXICTY HOLD AND NOTIFY PROVIDER
EPS GIVE BENZTROPINE
SSRI's = OCD first line
antipsychotics = schitzo
lithium= mania
red flags : NMS = FEVER + RIGIDTY/ EMERGECY
red flags : TD irreversible
red flags : lithium toxiicty = GI + nero
OCD = CANT STOP THINKING , MUST ACT
