Question
Answer
Name the positive symptoms of schizophrenia   1. thought disorders 2. delusions 3. hallucinations 4. bizarre behavior  
🗑
Name the negative symptoms of schizophrenia   1. amotivation 2. social withdrawal 3. flat affect 4. poverty of speech  
🗑
What is the dopamine hypothesis for schizophrenia   excess DA in the CNS  
🗑
drugs that activate DA receptors cause what type of sx's?   psychotic sx's  
🗑
drugs that antagonize DA receptors cause what type of sx's?   antipsychotic actions  
🗑
anti-psychotic drugs block 3 types of receptors -- what are they?   D2a, M (atropine-like effects), and a (postural HTN, sexual dysfxn)  
🗑
what are neuroleptics?   antipsychotic drugs  
🗑
what are the effects of low potency vs. high potency antipsychotic drugs?   Low potency (chlorpromazine, thioridazine) -- 100s of mg range --> cause more autonomic dysfxn. High potency (fluphenazine, haloperidol) -- 10 to 50 mg range --> cuase more extrapyramidal side fx (less autonomic dysfxn).  
🗑
what do haloperidol, pimozide, and high-potency phenothiazines have in common?   all have most intense DA receptor block --> reversible pseudo Parkinsonism (bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor), akathisia, acute dystonic rxns  
🗑
What is dystonia?   sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures  
🗑
What is akathisia?   unpleasant sensations of "inner" restlessness that manifests itself with an inability to sit still or remain motionless  
🗑
How do you fix acute dystonias?   Some may respond to botulinum toxin  
🗑
What antipsychotic drugs are least likely to cause extrapyramidal dysfxn?   newer drugs: clozapine, olanzapine because don't block D2a receptors. They are 5HT2 receptor antagonists (serotonin).  
🗑
Drugs that cause extrapyramidal dysfxn also cause what?   Block DA receptors in the pituitary --> inc prolactin --> endocrine dysfxn --> gynecomastia & amenorrhea-galactorrhea  
🗑
Chlorpromazine, thioridazine, & fluphenazine -- what class of drugs?   antipsychotics, DA receptor antagonists  
🗑
what is risperidone?   newer antipsychotic drug that blocks 5HT2 receptors  
🗑
Chlorpromazine   antipsychotic; prototype penothiazine; low potency  
🗑
Thioridazine   antipsychotic; penothiazine; low potency  
🗑
Fluphenazine   antipsychotic; penothiazine; high potency  
🗑
Haloperidol   antipsychotic; butyrophenone; high potency  
🗑
what receptors does clozapine block?   D2c and 5HT2  
🗑
Why do people on clozapine have to have weekly blood tests?   the drug can cause agranulocytosis  
🗑
Does clozapine cause extrapyramidal dysfunction?   no  
🗑
Olanzapine   blocks 5HT2 receptors; improves negative sx's  
🗑
Risperidone   blocks 5HT2 receptors; improves negative sx's; possible tardive dyskinesia  
🗑
Which antipsychotic causes weight gain?   Clozapine  
🗑
Which antipsychotic causes ocular dysfxn?   chlorpromazine  
🗑
Which antipsychotic causes retinal deposits and cardiotoxicity (torsades - quinidine-like)?   thioridazine  
🗑
Which antipsychotic can be given with long-acting depot forms?   haloperidol  
🗑
Aripiprazole   Partial agonist of D2 receptor; blocks 5HT2 receptor  
🗑
What is tardive dyskinesia?   choreoathetoid-like muscle movement associated with long-term use to DA blockers (esp haloperidol and high-potency phenothiazines)  
🗑
Can tardive dyskinesia be reversed by stopping intake/administration of the DA blocker?   not readily  
🗑
Should people with tardive dyskinesia be given M blockers?   no - will make the TD worse  
🗑
Which two drugs have there been no reports of tardive dyskinesia?   Clozapine and olanzapine (5HT2 receptor blockers)  
🗑
What is neuroleptic malignant syndrome?   life-threatening; extreme muscle rigidity, hyperthermia, CV instability, altered consciousness, enhanced sensitivity of DA receptors to blocking agents  
🗑
How would you treat neuroleptic malignant syndrome?   bromocriptine (DA agonist) and dantrolene (muscle relaxant, treats malignant hyperthermia) + sx management  
🗑
For which diseases would you use anti-psychotics?   schizophrenia, schizoaffective states, bipolar disorder, tourette syndrome, preoperative sedation, drug/radiation emesis, neurolept anesthesia (partially conscious)  
🗑
How long does it take a schizophrenic patient to respond to drug therapy?   several weeks  
🗑
What drug would you use for Tourette Syndrome?   DOC: Pimozide (intense DA receptor antagonist)  
🗑
What drug would you use for preoperative sedation?   promethazine (minimal antipsychotic activity); H1 blocker; sedative  
🗑
What drug would you use for drug/radiation emesis?   Proclorperazine  
🗑
What three drugs would you use for neurolept anesthesia?   droperidol, fentanyl, nitrous oxide  
🗑
