Short vs long acting benzo
Short acting: ATOM (alprazolam, triazolam, oxazepam, midazolam). Inactivated by liver
Long acting: active metabolites formed by liver
Phenobarbital
Barb
Use: Anxiety, sz, insomnia
MOA: Facilitate GABA-A by increasing opening duration. Long half live relative to bzd (hangover effect)
SE: Respiratory, cardiovascular depression, CNS depression, Dependence, INDUCE CYP450
Pentobarbital
Barb
Use: Anxiety, sz, insomnia
MOA: Facilitate GABA-A by increasing opening duration. Long half live relative to bzd (hangover effect)
SE: Respiratory, cardiovascular depression, CNS depression, Dependence, INDUCE CYP450
Thiopental
Barb
Use: Anesthesia induction, anxiety, sz, insomnia
MOA: Facilitate GABA-A by increasing opening duration. Long half live relative to bzd (hangover effect)
SE: Respiratory, cardiovascular depression, CNS depression, Dependence, INDUCE CYP450
Primidone
Barb
Use: essential tremor (with propanolol) sz (1 active metabolite is phenobarbital)
Bzd metabolism not in liver
OLT
Oxazepam, temazepam, and lorazepam are metabolized Outside The Liver
Zolpidem
Z drug, short acting
Use: Insomnia (initiation)
MOA: Bind GABA-A receptor (same spot as benzo). More specificity, less anxiolytic/antisz
SE: Cognitive impairment, delirium, central ataxia (less likely to cause dependence or tolerance)
DDI: alcohol, bzd, barbs, antihistamines
Zaleplon
Z drug, short acting
Use: Insomnia (initiation)
MOA: Bind GABA-A receptor (same spot as benzo). More specificity, less anxiolytic/antisz
SE: Cognitive impairment, delirium, central ataxia (less likely to cause dependence or tolerance)
DDI: alcohol, bzd, barbs, antihistamines
Eszopiclone
Z drug, long acting
Use: Insomnia (initiation and maintenance)
MOA: Bind GABA-A receptor (same spot as benzo). More specificity, less anxiolytic/antisz
SE: Cognitive impairment, delirium, central ataxia (less likely to cause dependence or tolerance)
DDI: alcohol, bzd, barbs, antihistamines
Flumazenil
Use: bzd/z drug od
MOA: GABA-A receptor antagonist at bzd site
SE: withdrawal induction
Ramelteon
Use: insomnia
MOA: Melatonin receptor MT1/MT2 agonist in SCN
SE: Dizziness, nausea, fatigue, HA (mild)
