A

resistance developed to other antipsychotics

22
Q

S/E of atypical antipsychotics

A
extrapyramidal sxs
increased prolactin 
hyperglycemia 
hyperlipidemia 
weight gain 
NMS
23

A

QT prolongation

24
Q

clozapine

A

atypical given if resistance develops

causes agranulocytosis and myocarditis

less incidence of EPS

what are extrapyramidal symptoms?

A

rigidity
bradykinesia
tremor
akathisia

27

typical/1st gen antipsychotics MOA

A

dopamine antagonists

*decreased dopamine activity causes all SEs

A

reversible EPS, hours to days after initiation of typical neuroleptics

caused by disruption of dopamine/ach balance = excessive AcH
