This means it works for insomnia, but not as a muscle relaxor or seizure suppressor
why do you have to be careful prescribing zolpidem
DDIs, e.g., increased metabolism by rifampin
what receptor does buspirone work on
5HT1a, which is Gi coupled
what are the benefits of buspirone over benzos
no risk of dependence
no withdrawal reactions
no marked sedation or psychomotor impairment
(but it can cause nervousness)

use dependent block which favors fibers that are:
small
myelinated
high firing rate

how do propofol and etomidate work?
like FLURANEs, they facilitate GABAa
what's the benefit and problem with etomidate
benefit is that it stabilizes the heart and llungs

downside is that it can cause pain at injection site, post op nause and vomiting, etc
use of ketamine
anesthesia in patients with hypotension or at risk of bronchospasm
main side effect of ketamine

alpha 2 agonists
ACh release inhibitors
Ca++ release channel blockers
what is baclofen
a spasmolytic, activates presynaptic Gi-coupled GABAb receptors
what is baclofen used for
