A

atypical antipsychotics:
aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, cariprazine, quetiapine

30
Q

what are overall counseling points of antidepressants?

A

abrupt discontinuation can lead to antidepressant withdrawal syndrome
possible increase in suicidal thinking during the first few weeks of therapy

31
Q

What are clinical factors of bipolar?

antipsychotics

35
Q

A

toxicity: ataxia, GI, coarse hand tremor, altered mental status, seizure
sides: fine hand tremor, hypothyroidism, polyuria, polydipsia, acne, weight gain, ECG changes
teratogenic: avoid in first trimester

37
Q

what should be monitored when using lithium?

A

Scr, BUN, electrolytes
CBC
thyroid functions

38
Q

what are drug interactions with lithium?

A

unsafe in any trimester – needs a pregnancy test
PCOS occurs in 50% of women
GI: anorexia, N/V/D, dyspepsia, ulceration
thrombocytopenia, platelet inhbition
teratogenic – neural tube defect
hypermmonemia
increased appetite

40
Q

what are monitoring parameters of valproate?

A

baseline: pregnancy test, LFTs, CBC
routine: serum concentrations
serum ammonia if suspected for hyperammonia

41
Q

what are drug interactions with valproate?

A

significant concern with lamotrigine
increased lamotrigine concentration and can lead to stevens johnson syndrome

42
Q

what is important about carbamazepine?

A

thrombocytopenia
hematological effects

43

A

1st line treatment for depressive symptoms in bipolar
not useful for acute treatment or for manic episodes

45
Q

what is important about topiramate?

A

may cause weight loss
heat intolerance/hypohidrosis
metabolic acidossi and kidney stones
possible teratogen

46
Q

how are antipsychotics used in bipolar?

A

can be used in bipolar as monotherapy or in combination with other mood stabilizers, but not two together

47
Q

what are treatment considerations for bipolar?
