1 Overview of Psychopharmacology Practical information for the therapist
2 Goals of this Lecture Overview of commonly used medications When to refer for medication evaluation When to contact your collaborating prescriber How to discuss realistic expectations of medication response with your patients
3 Therapy vs. Medication Pro-Therapy Works on long term coping skills Patients are responsible for their improvements Medication makes people less motivated to do much needed therapy Medication has side effects Medication fosters dependency, not autonomy Pro-Medication Works faster More effective for certain symptoms Can help patients become more productive in therapy More appropriate for certain individuals who are not good candidates for therapy
4
5 Overview of Commonly Used Medications
6 Medication Types Antidepressant Medications Antianxiety Medications Antipsychotic Medications Mood Stabilizers Medications for ADHD Medications for Sleep Miscellaneous
7 Antidepressant Medications
8 Antidepressant Medications Subtypes Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) Atypicals Alternatives Tricyclics and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
9 Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors Fluoxetine (Prozac) Paroxetine (Paxil/Pexeva) Sertraline (Zoloft) Citalopram (Celexa) Escitalopram (Lexapro) Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
10 Multiple Uses Depressive disorders Anxiety disorders Eating disorders OCD and OCD like disorders PTSD
11 Mechanism of Action of SSRIs How do they work in the brain?
12 Let s first take a closer look.
13 at the brain.
14 Different Neurotransmitter Pathways
15
16 This is where the focus of attention lies..
17 The Mechanism of Serotonin
18 How do SSRIs work on the neurons in the brain?
19 Mechanism of Action Blocks the serotonin reuptake enzyme in the synapses of neurons in the brain. This results in serotonin being less reabsorbed by the pre-synaptic neuron and thereby increases the amount of serotonin in the synaptic space. It is unclear if this is the mechanism which actually alleviates symptoms. There are also second messengers that are affected by this change.
20 Therapeutic Issues and Side Effects Increase in suicidal thinking in adolescents-black box warning Delay in therapeutic effect (2-6 weeks) Gastrointestinal upset Sexual Dysfunction Weight/appetite changes Affective blunting Serotonin syndrome Mania Problems in Pregnancy Sweating Yawning
21 SNRIs Venlafaxine (Effexor, Effexor XR) Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq) Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
22 Mechanism of SNRI
23 Mechanism of Action Similar to SSRIs except they block the reuptake inhibitors for both serotonin and norepinephrine.. Result is increased serotonin and norepinephrine in the synaptic space.
24
25 Atypical Antidepressants Buproprion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) Mechanism of action is via increasing levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Used for depression, ADD and smoking cessation. Not useful for anxiety in most cases Useful especially for seasonal mood issues and atypical depression. Used in combination with SSRIs for treatment resistance. Side effects are jitteriness, activation, weight loss, insomnia, seizures
26 Atypical Antidepressants (cont.) Mirtazapine (Remeron) An alpha adrenergic antagonist with some antagonism of serotonin receptors Also antihistaminic which leads to its side effects of weight gain and sedation Aripiprazole (Abilify) An antipsychotic Approved as an aumentation for residual depression
27 Atypicals (cont) Nefazodone (Serzone) not often used anymore secondary to rare cases of liver failure leading to death Trazodone Typically too sedating at therapeutic antidepressant doses. Commonly used as a non-narcotic sleep aid New medication Oleptra (extended release version)
28 Tricyclics and MAOIs Tricyclics Amitriptyline (Elavil) Nortriptyline (Pamelor) desipramine(norpramin) clomipramine(anafranil) imipramine(tofranil) trimipramine(surmontil) Cardiac arrhythmias in overdose Many side effects Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors Trancypromine (Parnate) Phenelzine (Nardil) isocarboxazid (Marplan) selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar) Restricted diet, tyramine, hypertensive crisis
29
30 Mechanism of MAOI
31 Miscellaneous Lithium Stimulants Thyroid medication St johns wort Sam E Light therapy
32 Medications for Anxiety
33 Medications for Anxiety All SSRIs and SNRIs Anxiety disorders generally require higher doses to achieve therapeutic effect True to their symptoms, these patients tend to be more anxious about going on medication and are more tuned in to side effects. Benzodiazepines Other Buspirone Vistaril Benadryl Atarax gabapentin
34 Benzodiazepines Alprazolam (Xanax) Clonazepam (Klonopin) Lorazepam (Ativan) Diazepam (Valium) Chlordiazepoxide (Librium)
35 Mechanism of Action Benzodiazepines enhance the effect of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) which has an inhibitory effect on the neuron which alleviates anxiety
36 Side effects and therapeutic issues of Benzodiazepines Addiction, tolerance, withdrawal, abuse Sedation Psychomotor slowing Blurred vision Nausea Dizziness Amnestic for events Paradoxical reactions especially in Axis II pathology
37 Other Antianxiety Medications Buspirone (Buspar) Limited effectiveness Acts by having some serotonin increasing effects Can cause sedation Hydroxyzine (Vistaril, Atarax) antihistaminic Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) antihistaminic Gabapentin (Neurontin) inhibits the calcium channel???
38 Antipsychotic Medications Typicals or First Generation Neuroleptics versus Atypicals or Second Generation Neuroleptics
39 Antipsychotics (cont.) Typicals or First Generation Older medications Generally block Dopamine 2 (D2) receptors Examples include: Haloperidol (Haldol) Fluphenazine (Prolixin) Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) Perphenazine (Trilafon) Thioridazine (Mellaril)
40
41 Antipsychotics (cont.) Side Effects Extrapyramidal side effects Akathisia Dystonia Parkinsonism Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Tardive Dyskinesia Hyperprolactinemia Anticholinergic (constipation, dry mouth, difficulty urinating, sexual dysfunction, sedation) Postural hypotension
42 Antipsychotics (cont.) Atypicals or Second Generation Newer medications Generally broader range of blockade (dopamine, serotonergic, histaminic, acetylcholinergic, alpha adrenergic) Also used commonly for bipolar disorder for mood stabilization
43 Risperidone (Risperdal) Olanzapine (Zyprexa) Ziprasidone (Geodon) Aripiprazole (Abilify) Clozapine (Clozaril) Quetiapine (Seroquel) Paliperidone (Invega) Asenapine (Saphris) Iloperidone (Fanapt) Lurasidone (Latuda) Antipsychotics (cont.) Atypicals
44
45 Side Effects Antipsychotics (cont.) Atypicals Similar to first generation Lower incidence of extrapyramidal side effects Metabolic changes Some issues with QT prolongation with Geodon Clozapine issues
46 Mood Stabilizers or Medications for Bipolar Disorder
47 Medications for Mood Stability Lithium Valproic Acid (Depakote) Carbamazepine (Tegretol) Atypical Antipsychotics Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
48 Lithium Mechanism of Action Unclear Therapeutic for both mania and depression As well as maintenance Reduces risk for suicide
49 Lithium- Therapeutic Issues Requires monitoring of therapeutic levels Thyroid monitoring Can cause hypothyroidism or goiter Renal Function Can have long term effects on renal function Teratogenic First trimester exposure linked to birth defects
50 Lithium Side Effects Dehydration Acts in the kidney to reduce antidiuretic hormone and will therefore cause the kidneys to diurese Weight gain Tremor Acne
51 Mechanism of Lithium Somehow effects second messenger proteins and G proteins. They inhibit the breakdown of inositol phosphate which in a nutshell, quiets the neuron down. There is a theory that bipolar neurons fire too quickly, lithium acts to quiet them. With all that being said, it is only a theory and it is not proven that this is the therapeutic effect in bipolar.
52 Mechanism of Action of Mood Stabilizers Figure 1. Intracellular signaling cascades involved in long term stabilization of mood by lithium (Li) and valproic acid (VPA). Activation of receptors coupled to PI hydrolysis results in the breakdown of phosphoinositide 4,5-biphosphate (PIP 2 ) into two second messengers: IP 3 and diacylglycerol (DAG), which is an endogenous activator of PKC. Lithium is an uncompetitive inhibitor of inositol monophosphatases, whereas both lithium and VPA, upon chronic administration, decrease myo-inositol uptake. These perturbations by mood stabilizers likely contribute to the reduction in PKC activity and the reduced levels of PKC-, PKC- and myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a major PKC substrate in the CNS, that occur after chronic exposure to lithium or VPA. One pathway gaining attention in the adult mammalian brain is the Wnt signaling pathway. Binding of the Wnt signal to the Wnt receptor (WntR) activates an intermediary protein, 'disheveled', which regulates GSK-3. GSK-3 regulates cytoskeletal proteins, and also has an important role in determining cell survival and cell death. Lithium (and possibly VPA) directly inhibit GSK-3, which may underlie, at least in part, the increases in -catenin that occur after chronic treatment with these agents. The ERK MAP kinase cascade regulates several important transcription factors, most notably CREB and activator protein-1 (Ap-1). Recent studies have demonstrated that both lithium and VPA activate the ERK MAP kinase cascade, which may contribute to the long term changes in synaptic plasticity and morphology that follow chronic treatment. Together, the regulation of these signaling pathways brings about an enhancement of synaptic connectivity potentially necessary for long-term stabilization of mood.
53 Valproate (Depakote) Established efficacy in bipolar mania and maintenance Not very useful for depressive episodes Mechanism of action unclear
54 Valproate (Depakote) Therapeutic Issues Blood level monitoring Hepatic inflammation Low platelets Teratogenic
55 Valproate (Depakote) Therapeutic Issues Weight gain Gastrointestinal upset Sedation Tremor Alopecia
56 Carbamazepine (Tegretol) Another anticonvulsant Effective for mania and maintenance, not depression Side effects include vertigo, ataxia, leukopenia, cardiac conduction slowing It induces the breakdown of many other medications and therefore lowers their levels
57 Atypical Antipsychotics FDA approved for use in acute manic episodes Unclear use for bipolar maintenance Same side effects profile as with psychotic disorders Drug companies are exploring their use in bipolar depression
58 Atypical Antipsychotics with Indication in Bipolar Disorder Olanzapine (Zyprexa) mania and maintenance Risperidone (Risperdal) mania and maintenance Ziprasidone (Geodon) mania and maintenance Quetiapine (Seroquel) mania, depression and maintenance Asenapine (Saphris) mania and maintenance Aripiprazole (Abilify) acute mania Paliperidone (Invega) schizoaffective disorder
59 Lamotrigine (Lamictal) Approved for bipolar depression and maintenance Not approved for mania Requires slow titration Interaction with other medications esp. valproate
60 Side Effects of Lamotrigine Stevens Johnson rash Weight neutral Dizziness Sedation GI upset
61 Used in Bipolar but Not Proven Useful Gabapentin (Neurontin) Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) Tiagabine (Gabitril) Topiramate (Topamax)
62 Medications for Sleep
63 Medications for Sleep Benzodiazepines Zolpidem (Ambien) works like a benzo Zaleplon (Sonata) Works like a benzo Eszopiclone (Lunesta) works like a benzo Ramelteon (Rozerem) melatonin receptor agonist Trazodone antidepressant that is sedating Benadryl antihistamine that is sedating Seroquel atypical that is sedating
64 Medications for ADHD
65 Medications for ADHD Psychostimulants Non-stimulants
66 Dopamine Pathways in Brain
67 Medications for ADHD Stimulants Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Ritalin SR, Ritalin LA, Concerta, Metadate CD, Daytrana patch) Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine) Lisdexamphetamine (Vyvanse)
68 Mechanism of amphetamine
69 Psychostimulants Almost 80% effective for treatment of symptoms Mechanism of action is to increase dopamine by inhibiting the dopamine reuptake transporter in the anterior cingular gyrus and prefrontal cortex
70 Stimulants and addiction Individuals with ADHD have increased incidence of substance use disorders overall but treating ADHD actually decreases the rate of abuse. Extended release stimulants have low risk for abuse potential
71 Side Effects of ADHD Medications Psychostimulants Appetite suppression Jitteriness Headache Gastrintestinal upset Elevation in heart rate, palpitations Insomnia
72 Nonstimulants Non-Stimulant Treatments Atomoxetine (Strattera) Buproprion (Wellbutrin) Guanfacine (Intuniv) Clonidine (Catapres, Tenex) Modafinil (Provigil)
73 Side Effects of Nonstimulants Insomnia Activation Sedation (Tenex, Catapres, Intuniv)
74 Miscellaneous Medications Modafinil (Provigil) A wakefulness promoting agent Used off label for alertness in medication side effects Topiramate (Topamax) Some studies show usefulness to reduce binging in bulimia or binge eating disorder
75
76 When to refer for medication evaluation Marked interference in functioning Suicidality Vegetative symptoms in depression (anhedonia, insomnia, loss of appetite) Symptoms fail to improve with therapy Symptoms are jeopardizing marriage or occupation
77 Symptoms that I would automatically Psychotic symptoms OCD symptoms Manic symptoms refer for medication Symptoms patient is self medicating with drugs or alcohol
78 When to contact the prescriber Suicidal Ideation Exacerbation of symptoms Patient is noncompliant or will not follow up with prescriber Patient is embarrassed to discuss side effects (especially sexual side effects) Medication may be causing symptoms (mania) Medication may be interfering with treatment
79 How Medication can Interfere with Therapy An antidepressant causes mania An antidepressant causes affective blunting Anxiety is gone and there is no motivation to work in therapy A stimulant causes anxiety Patient uses benzodiazepine too readily and refuses to tolerate any anxiety
80 How to discuss realistic medication expectations Medication is not a panacea Medication frequently has side effects Medication has minimal effect on reactive symptoms If patients only want to be on medication temporarily, then they need to work on improved coping skills Medication does not change your environment
81 Medication Expectations Stimulants work almost immediately Antipsychotics and mood stabilizers should exert therapeutic effects in a few days Benzodiazepines work almost immediately Antidepressants take 2 to 6 weeks to work
82 Questions Why are medications viewed as something an individual has to take for the rest of their lives instead of stabilizing them enough to do the work they need to do in therapy?
83 Stop Medication?? OCD, Bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders use medication as their primary treatmentlong term If you have more than two depressive episodes, current recommendations are to be on maintenance medication Temporary medication use is useful for anxiety and depression (especially adjustment reactions)
84 If it ain t broken, don t fix it Some people don t want to come off medication They have minimal side effects and no ambivalence about staying on them Preferably need a low stress period of time to taper Taper should take a while to reduce chance to relapse Many people do well coming off medicationtry it!
