- black out, lapse in memory, sudden alter of conscious
- falling, shaking, convulsion of all limbs

A) seizure
what monitor do you use to r/o seizure?
EEG monitor
5 different categories of meds that can induce sz. (I)
analgesic
antibiotic
antidepressant
antipsychotic
anti-neoplastic
ALL analgesics cause sz. T or F
True
list analgesics that cause seizure
meperidine (Demerol)
tramadol (Ultram)
what to monitor closely with meperidine for seizure?
renal fxn!!!
if renal dysfx, must d/c meperidine b/c metabolite accumulate and sz risk increases 7 folds
which abx cause sz? (mechanism behind it?)
carbapenem
FQ (cipro, levo, moxi)
penicillin
due to GABA antagonism issue
all carbapenem cause sz. so if sz, what to do?
switch med
what to check before FQ to minimize sz? what else can you use instead?
check hx of sz and other epileptic drugs
can use pcn or cephalo
which antidepressant can cause sz?
TCA (imipramine)
SSRI (bupropion)
maprotiline, amoxapine
what does anti-depressant induced sz depend on?
dose dependent
which 3 anti-depressant has lowest sz risk?
Prozac (fluoxetine)
Luvox (fluvoxamine)
Desyrel (trazodone)
all anti-depressant induced sz are dose dependent. T or F
if drug-induced sz is sustained (not acute anymore; multiple sz), what to use?
anti-epileptic
what does acute onset mean?
subacute?
tardive?
(II)
acute: hrs - days from exposure
subacute: wks
tardive: months - yrs
EPS (extrapyramidal sympt) does NOT include:
D) akathisia
which neuroleptic is better for movement disorder?
conventional vs. atypical?
atypical!
so if pt is on conventional, switch to atypical!
which 2 antipsychotics have high risk/dose dependent EPS?
Invega (paliperidone)
Risperdal (risperidone)
which 2 antipsychotics have mod risk/dose dependent EPS?
Zyprexa (olanzapine)
Geodon (ziprasidone)
which 1 antipsychotic have mod risk/NON-dose dependent EPS?
Abilify (aripiprazole)
which 2 antipsychotics have low risk/NON-dose dependent EPS?
Seroquel (quetiapine)
clozapine
which has EPS independent of dose?
D) clozapine
which has EPS dependent of dose?
A) Risperdal (risperidone)
which has high risk of EPS? (this is also dose-dependent)
C) Risperdal
which has moderate risk and NON dose dependent EPS?
A) Abilify
Which has low risk (non-dose dep) EPS?
A) Seroquel
subjective: feeling restlessness, need to move
objective: pacing, walking in place, foot/toe tapping, rocking while seated.
distress if unable to move. symptoms during sleep.
what movement disorder is this?
iron deficiency (no need to supple empirically btw)
mental retardation
presence of negative sympt of schizo
rapid neuroleptic dose escalation
how to manage drug induced akathisia?
d/c or lower dose of drug
consider switch to atypical antipsychotic
try antimuscarinic agent or b-blocker (propranolol) - last line
abnormal involuntary delayed onset of choreoathetoid sterotypic movements.
non painful, embarrassing
difficulty chewing, swallowing, talking
lipsmacking, chewing movement, tongue protrusion.
which movement disorder is this?
are the drugs that cause akathisia similar to those that cause tardive dyskinesia? how about incidence-wise?
yes (similar incidence too)
are the drugs that cause akathisia similar to those that cause dystonia? how about incidence-wise?
yes but incidence % is higher for akathisia and tardive dyskinesia
risk factors for drug induced TD?
adv age
affective symptomatology
alcoholism, substance abuse
anticholinergic use
daily neuroleptic dose
diabetes
duratino of neuroleptic treatment
female
h/o electroconvulsive tx
h/o EPS
intermittent neuroleptic tx
iron deficiency
mental retardation
organic brain disorder
how to manage drug induced TD?
d/c or reduce dose of drug
d/c concurrent anti-muscarinic agent
blah blah (slide 19)
sustained involuntary muscle contractions or spasms resulting in abnormal postures or twisting and repetitive movements.
what movement disorder is this?
dystonia
difficulty walking, breathing, head turning, speech, swallowing.
what movement disorder is this?
dystonia
associated with pain, distress, disability.
C) dystonia
agents in drug induced dystonia.
conventional neuroleptic
atypical antipsychotic
anti-emetic (metoclopramide, prochlorperizine)
Drugs that cause dystonia are (same/different) as for akathisia and tardive dyskinesia.
same
Drugs that cause dystonia have (high/low) incidence as for akathisia and tardive dyskinesia.
low!
risk factors are male and young age.
A) dystonia
how to manage acute dystonia?
d/c med
administer antimuscarinic agent
how to manage chronic dystonia?
d/c or reduce dose of med
if due to neuroleptic, switch to atypical antipsychotic
trial antimuscarinic
tertrabenazine
trial muscle relaxant (baclofen)
amantadine, clonidine, keppra, lyrica
which body region does dystonia affect?
neck, upper and lower extremities
jaw, larynx, trunk
tremor rigiditiy, slowness of movement affecting bilateral upper and lower extremities and truncal regions.
what movement disorder?
parkinsonism
masked facies, micrographia, slow shuffling gait, stooped posture.
what movement disorder?
parkinsonism
agents in drug induced parkinsonism?
methyldopa, reserpine, tetrabenazine
valproic acid
atypical antipsychotic
tetrabenazine is NOT used in this condition b/c it actually induces this.
D) parkinsonism
methyldopa, reserpine, valproate cause this.
A) parkinsonism
if you have peripheral neuropathy, waht should you r/o first?
Diabetes
if underlying condition is treated, peripheral neuropathy symptoms can improve. t or f
