2 I have no relevant financial interests with respect to this subject
3 Learning Objectives for Pharmacists and Prescribers Describe the diagnosis, core symptoms and common comorbid conditions of ADHD Recommend appropriate pharmacologic treatments for ADHD, including dosage form selection for patients having problems with symptom control Recommend strategies for minimizing side effects of stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications
4 Learning Objectives for Technicians and Nurses Identify which ADHD medications are classified as stimulants and which ones as non-stimulants Recognize some common ADHD medications by their brand and generic names List two advantages and two disadvantages of stimulants as compared with non-stimulants in the treatment of ADHD
5 ADHD is a disorder of childhood and adolecence that resolves by adulthood. 1. True 2. False
6 Childhood Medication Use for ADHD 2010: Prescriptions for ADHD drugs - 51½ million Total sales of ADHD drugs - $7.42 billion ( of 83% from $4.05 billion in 2006) Psychoactive Medication Use Regular education - 1 to 2% Elementary school - up to 5% Special education - about 25%
7
8 INCIDENCE OF ADHD MEDICATION USE BY STATE & REGION 2012 (adapted from Turning Attention to ADHD, Express Scripts Report, Mar 2014)
9 ADHD - Epidemiology Approximately 7% of school age children Effects of Age and Gender Children: Males > Females (~ 3:1) Adolescence: Males = Females Young Adults: Females > Males Genetic predisposition Continues into adolescence and adulthood
10 Adult ADHD Approximately 1.7 million patients (20 64 yrs) took ADHD prescriptions in 2005 up to 60% persistence from childhood to adult prevalence estimated at about 4% Inattention ~ 90% Hyperactivity/Impulsivity ~50% Other Associated Problems social marital academic career anxiety depression smoking substance abuse FDA adult approved: Adderall, Concerta, Vyvanse, Strattera
11 ADHD - Etiology Unknown Genetic Environmental Role of neurotransmitters Dopamine Norepinephrine
12 Core Symptoms/Types of ADHD 1. Hyperactivity-Impulsivity 2. Inattention 3. Combined type 4. Not Otherwise Specified
13 Diagnosis of ADHD per DSM-V (2013) >6 symptoms present for >6 months of either 1) inattention or 2) hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms present before 12 yrs impairment >2 settings clear evidence symptoms interfere with social, school, or work functioning symptoms not better explained by schizophrenia or another psychotic/mental disorder (e.g. mood, depressive, bipolar, anxiety, dissociative, or personality disorder, substance abuse) no exclusion for autism (both can co-occur)
14 Differentiation of Possible coexisting problems/disorders with ADHD Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) Conduct disorder Aggression Depression Anxiety Tics Bipolar Mental handicap Psychosis
15 Adolescents with ADHD and Comorbid Oppositional Defiance with Aggression Should Not Be Treated with Stimulants. 1. True 2. False
16 Differentiation of Possible Coexisting Problems with ADHD and Selection of Possible Initial Drug Therapy Oppositional defiant disorder stimulant* Conduct disorder stimulant* Anxiety / Depression (mild or moderate) stimulant Depression (severe) Antidepressant (e.g. SSRI) *If severe aggression coexists add mood stabilizer (e.g. divalproex or lithium) followed by 2 -agonist. If symptoms still persist, may use atypical antipsychotic if severe anxiety remains, a SSRI may be added try an alternative antidepressant (e.g. SSRI or bupropion) before finally adding a stimulant
17 Differentiation of Possible Coexisting Problems with ADHD and Selection of Possible Initial Drug Therapy Tics stimulants (trial of at least 2 stimulants) Bipolar mood stabilizer (e.g. anticonvulsant or lithium) Psychosis atypical antipsychotic if tics still remain problematic clonidine or guanfacine can then be added or used to replace stimulant
18 ADHD Nonpharmacologic Therapy Education Behavioral modification/therapy Special education Psychological therapies
19 ADHD - Drug Treatment I. Stimulants II. Non-Stimulants Antidepressants (TCAs, Bupropion and SNRIs) Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonists (Clonidine and Guanfacine) Atomoxetine Antipsychotics?
20 Preschool children with ADHD should not be treated with: 1. Stimulants 2. Behavioral therapy 3. Stimulants or Behavioral therapy 4. None of the above
21 AAP Subcommittee on ADHD Clinical Practice Guideline (2011)* 4 to 5 yrs (Preschool) 1. Behavior therapy 2. add Methylphenidate 6 to 18 yrs 1. Behavior therapy plus FDA Approved ADHD Med (Stimulant, Atomoxetine, Guanfacine ER, or Clonidine ER) *AAP: Subcommittee on ADHD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children and Adolescents. Pediatrics 2011;128:
22 Stimulants At least 80% (and up to 95%) of patients will respond to one of the stimulant drugs when they are tried in a systematic way Parent s concerns must be addressed potential for addiction (all in schedule II) growth concerns legal restrictions
23 Stimulants for ADHD Amphetamine + Dextroamphetamine(Adderall ) Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin )* Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, Zenzedi )* Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse ) Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Methylin, Metadate, Concerta, Quillivant XR, Daytrana)* Methamphetamine (Desoxyn )* *generics exist for selected dosage formulations
24 Mechanism of Action of Stimulants Inhibits reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine Dextroamphetamine and amphetamine also inhibits monoamine oxidase and at higher doses results in release of dopamine and serotonin from presynaptic neuron
25
26 Side Effects of Methylphenidate Most common: stomach pain, nausea, loss of appetite, insomnia, headache, irritability Less common: dizziness, rash, heart rate or systolic blood pressure, mood alterations, nervousness Rare: tics, slowing of height velocity, priapism
27 Rare side effects from too high of a dose of methylphenidate delirium confusion muscle twitch tremors sweating vomiting difficulty breathing dysphoria zombie-like state
28 Management of Stimulant Side Effects Loss of appetite, nausea, stomachache, weight loss dose or switch from extended-acting to short-acting or intermediate-acting stimulant administer with small meal or snack when stimulant effects are low consider cyproheptadine at bedtime caloric-enhanced supplements if severe, consider drug holiday or different medication Insomnia, nightmares administer earlier in the day and stop giving in the afternoon or evening dose or switch from extended-acting to short-acting or intermediate-acting stimulant add clonidine, guanfacine, TCA, antihistamine, melatonin
29 Management of Stimulant Side Effects Headache divide dose administer with food add an analgesic (e.g. acetaminophen or ibuprofen) Anxiety titrate slowly dose add anxiolytic Dizziness check blood pressure encourage drinking of fluids dose or switch to longer-acting stimulant
30 Management of Stimulant Side Effects Rebound (medication s beneficial effects wear off too rapidly) give doses more frequently (overlap) switch to or add a longer-acting stimulant add or switch to a different type of medication, e.g. clonidine, atomoxetine, bupropion Irritability Assess at what time this is occurring in relation to dosing (i.e. determine if drug-induced) If related to peak: dose or try longer-acting stimulant If related to trough/withdrawal: change to longer-acting stimulant Evaluate for coexisting problems and treat if present add or switch to a different type of medication, e.g. mood stabilizers like lithium or anticonvulsants, antidepressants
31 Management of Stimulant Side Effects Growth impairment try not giving the stimulant on weekend and during vacations from school drug holidays if severe, switch to nonstimulant treatment Depression/sadness, moodiness, agitation, dazed or withdrawn behavior Treat any coexisting problems dose or switch to longer-acting stimulant add or switch to a different type of medication, e.g. mood stabilizers like lithium or anticonvulsants, antidepressants
32 Stimulant General Potency Ratio Approximate Methylphenidate 2 Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin ) 1 Amphetamine Mixture (Adderall ) 1 Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine ) 1 Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse ) 2.5 Equivalent Dose (mg)
