25
thioridazine
traditional antipsychotic
26
schizoid personality disorder
marked by lifetime of voluntary social withdrawal
27
avoidant personality
pervasive pattern of social inhibition however they do desire companionship intense fear of rejection feelings of inadequacy and social ineptness to the extent they will participate socially only when they are certain to be liked
28

31
schizotypal disorder
strikingly odd, peculiar notions, ideas of reference, illusions, magical thinking, and derealization
32
treatment of extrapyramidal side effects (torticollis) of haloperidol
benztropine anticholinergic agent reverses haloperidol action (high affinity for D2 receptor) of blocking dopamine receptors
33
uses of diazepam
hypnotic, sedative, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant | treats chorea as muscle relaxant
34
fluphenazine
can induce potent D2 dopaminergic receptor blockade | alternative to haloperidol
35
prochlorperazine
typical antipsychotic agent with potent antidopaminergic effects
36
cocaine mech of action
prevents the reuptake of NE, dopamine, and serotonin by presynaptic transporter pumps in the central and peripheral nervous systems
37
phencyclidine
aggressive and impulsive behavior, nystagmus, and tachycardia NBDA receptor antagonist
38
barbiturates cause
respiratory depression and act by increasing BAGA activity by increasing the duration of Cl- channel opening
39
Bretylium and guanethidine
prevent fusion of presynaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane resulting in an inhibition of the release of NE into the synapse
40
What drug causes tardive dyskinesia
fluphenazine and haloperidol | result of long-term antipsychotic use
41
side effects of clozapine
atypical antipsychotic | agranulocytosis
42

tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine
52
tyrosine is a precursor of
dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine
53
how does depression effect sleep
``` disrupted sleep increased time in REM decreased REM latency decreased delta waves characteristic of stage 3 and 4 treated with SSRI - fluoxetine ```
54
lysergic acid diethylamide is
LSD | hallucinations, delusion, and dilated pupils
55
Methylphenidate is used to treat, by what mechanism
ADHD | increases presynaptic release of NE
56
buproprion is used to treat | what pt population is it contraindicated for
antidepressant | contraindicated in pts with anorexia nervosa because it increases the risk of seizure in this population
57
an SSRI that treats both depression and anorexia
fluoxetine
58
an atypical antidepressant that induces weight gain
mirtazapine
59
best choice for first line treatment of delirium tremens
long-acting benzodiazepine | chlordiazepoxide
60
amitryptiline - class and common SEs
tricyclic anti-depressant red as a beet, dry as a bone, hot as a hare, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, and full as a flask
61
what is used to reverse benzodiazepine overdose | by what mechanism
