10-12 hrs later
t1/2 of li
24 hrs
slow release preps or divided daily doses decrease --- --- of Li
toxic peaks
some --- increase Li reabsorptions
diuretics ( thiazide)

so you need less Li
---- ---- increase renal excretion of Li
osmotic diuretics

so you need more Li
--- increase Li reabsorption
NSAIDS

so less needed
what NSAID will increase li reabsorption more
indomethacin>ibuprofen = naproxen > ASA
tx index of Li
1.5--3
what can drastically affect steady state Li levels
Na loss

dehydration

95% eliminated in urine
t/f

not necessary to monitor Li levels in all pts
f

must in all pts
tx range of Li
0.6-1.2 mEq/L 10-12 hrs after last oral dose
GI tox of Li
1.6-2.0 mEq/L

n/v/d
CNS tox of Li
> 2.0 mEq

tremor

dizziness

ataxia

coma

convulsions
when is li tetratogenic
first semester

consider risk vs benefit

cv abnormalities in utero. . .can be surgically corrected
what do you watch w/ postpartum babies who's moms took Li
fluid balance
what percent of serious toxicity require intervention
10-20%
any tolerance/withdrawal of Li
no

but recurrence of manic episodes even if controlled over years
what;s less likely to cause withdrawal w/ Li
slow withdrawal
when do you give li alternatives
refractory pts that don't respond to Li


w/ other tx li toxicity decrease or time to when lithium needed
alternative meds to Li
valproate

carbamazepine
neuro symptoms of valproate
tremor

ataxia

coma
GI s/s of carbamazepine
n/v
allergic rx of carbamazepine
rash
carbamazapine can cause -- and -- toxicity
liver

bone marrow
what can be elevated w/ valproate
hepatic transaminase

heptaotoxicity
what does carbamazepine induce
cyp3A4
atypical antipsychotics that can be alternatives to li
aripiprazole

ziprasidone
what can worsen manic symptoms
TCA and SSRIs alone
what can be combined w/ atypical antipsy to help w/ manic symtoms
olanzapine/fluoxetine ( symbyax)
this has moderate mood-stablizing effects used for manic s/s

change fatty acids then change prostaglandins , bind to different receptors
omega-3 fatty acids
glucocorticoid receptor antag used for manic s/s
mifepristone
