Tardive Diskinesia (permanent) Late appearing, abnormal involuntary motor movement Typical drugs WOF: lip smacking, tongue protrusion, muscle rigidity
Extrapyramidal S/E (EPSE) Typical, temporary 1. Acute dystonia oculogyric crisis, fixed stare, torticollis, opisthonus 2. Akathisia sits, stands, walks around 3. Pseudo-parkinsonism-
uroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) fatal WOF: increased: temp, BP, rigidity stop next dose, notify physician supportive tx, seizure precautions
Orthostatic Hypotension Move slowly to prevent falls Photosensitivity- wide brimmed hats
Hepatotoxicity - hold next dose, notify physician altered liver enzymes Yellow sclera
Anticholinergic Effects 1. Pupillary dilation mydriasis a. Blurred vision 2. Dry mouth 3. Constipation 4. Urinary retention 5. Increased heart rate Palpitation (Subjective), Tachycardia (Objective) Mood Affecting Disorders Dysthymia - emo/alone at least 2 years Cyclothymia up/down ADLs intact labile at least 2 years Bipolar D/O major labile X ADL history of mania 1 year then depression Mania at least 1 week Major Depression at least 2 weeks Hypomania 4 days (myosis pupillary constriction)
Major Depression no ADLs at least 2 weeks, introjections Etiology: o o o o S/SX o o o Decreased self-esteem may lead to suicide Decreased energy Decreased amount of sleep leads to insomnia irritable Genetics Decreased NOREPINEPHRINE and SEROTONIN Decreased energy Increased superego frustration decreased self esteem Sense of loss anger (hostility to self) self blame, suicide because of low self-esteem
NI o Safety suicide observe suicidal cues: Giving away prized possessions Sudden change in behaviour Verbalization of thoughts of suicide
Directly ask (counsel) Initiate suicide precautions WOF: Early AM shift and end of PM shift when supervision is minimal; peak time of anti-depressants (2-4 wks)

SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) DrowsinesS Sexual dysfunction (temporary) Rash photosensitivity Insomnia give activity gI disturbance- diarrhea
TCA (Tricyclic Antidepressants) Tofranil: oldest TCA Cardiac problems Hypertension BP Arrhythmia ECG
MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor) Keeps MAO away, keeping storage of thyramine at liver, so thyramine circulates converts to NE. Causes Hypertensive crisis avoid thyramine/ thryramine rich foods 1. Fermented- aged, cottage cheese; wine and beer 2. Processed (esp. Canned) 3. Preserved (pickles) 4. Overripe fruits avocado and banana
Do not take different antidepressants at the same time. Wait for wash out period of 1-2 weeks.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) o o o o o o For major depression Artificially inducing grand-mal (tonic-clonic) seizures MOA: unknown but it increases NE Frequency: 2-3x/week # of effective treatments: 6-15 Drugs: Anesthesia (General) Muscle relaxant Anaectine to reduce fracture Atropine Sulfate- Anticholinergic drugs decrease salivary secretion and prevent aspiration, increase heart rate, prevents bradycardia
Post ECT NI: Gag reflex Reorient Assess VS and backache check for fracture Side lying Suction
