What is the action of Benzodiazepines in axiety pts
|
they attach to benzodiazepine receptors and increase the effect of Gabba(inhibitory neurotransmitter)
|
|
Name 3 Benzodiazepine (anxiolytic)drugs:
name 1 non-benzodiazepine anti anxiety medication: |
1)diazepam (valium)
2)Alprazolam (Xanax) 3)Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) 4)Buspirone (Buspar) *other 2 have been discontinued* |
|
What 3 classes of meds treat depression
|
1)TCA (tricyclic anti-depressant)
2)MAOI (minoamine oxidase inhibitors) 3)SSRI (Selective serotonin reutake inhibitors) |
|
How do TCA's exert their effects on the body?
|
TCA: not fully understood
though to inhibit the uptake of serotonin and/or norepinephrine by the presynaptic neuronal membrane in the CNS |
|
How do MAOI's exert their effects on the body?
|
inhibits the actions of monoamine,
this prevents the inactivation of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine resuts in increased levels of these 4 biogenic amine neurotransmitters |
|
How do SSRI exert their effects?
|
Inhibits CNS neuronal uptake of serotonin
|
|
Name 4 TCA meds:
|
1)Amitriptyline
2)amoxapine 3)Clomipramine 4)Imipramine |
|
Name 2 MAOI meds:
|
1)phenelzine
2)tranylcypromine |
|
Name 4 SSRI meds:
|
1)Citalopram
2)Amoxapine 3)Clomipramine 4)Imipramine |
|
Name 3 miscelanious antidepressant meds:
|
1)Trazodone
2)Bupropion 3)venlafaxine |
|
How do antipsychotic medications work?
|
Block dopamine at teh postsynaptic receptor sites in the brain, thus increase the metabolism of dopamine
this decreases the sensory stimulation to the RAS (reticular activating system) in the brain stem resulting in sedation acts as a antiemetic with actions on the chemoreptors |
|
Name a antimanic drug:
how does it work? |
Lithium
alters sodium transport at the nerve endings enhances the uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine has no sedative, depressant, or euphoric actions (makes it unique amount psychiatric drugs) |
|
What are the 3 classes of the Sedative-Hypnotics?
|
1)benzodiazepine
2)Barbiturate 3)non-Barbiturate |
|
explain the effect of benzodiazepine as i relates to the sedative hypnotic class:
|
acts on the hypothalamus and limbic system
this increases the arousal threshold (need more stimulation) |
|
explain barbiturates and how they work:
|
used to relax pts in hospital before certain medical procedures
acts as a CNS depressant by acting on the RAS this decrease nerve impulses to the cerebral cortex |
|
Name 4 benzodiazepine meds for sedation:
|
1)flurazepam
2)Lorazepam 3)Temazepam 4)Triazolam |
|
Name 4 barbiturates and state which ones are short acting, intermediate, and long acting
|
long acting:
1)mephobarbital intermediate: 2)amobarbital short: 3)phenobarbital 4)secobarbital |
|
What are the 3 classes of the Sedative-Hypnotics?
|
1)benzodiazepine
2)Barbiturate 3)non Barbiturate |
|

|
Name 4 benzodiazepine meds for sedation:
|
1)flurazepam
2)Lorazepam 3)Temazepam 4)Triazolam |
|
Name 4 barbiturates and state which ones are short acting, intermediate, and long acting
|
long acting:
1)mephobarbital intermediate: 2)amobarbital short: 3)phenobarbital 4)secobarbital |
|
name 4 phenothiazines antipsychotic meds
|
1)chlorpromazine
2)Mesoridazine 3)Thioridazine 4)Thiothixene |
|
Name 6 Nonphenotiazine antipsychotic meds
|
1)Clozapine
2)Haloperidol (Haldol) ermerg 3)loxapine 4)Olanzapine 5)Qutiapine 6)Risperidone (Risperdal) |
