  • Front
  • Back
Conventional antipsychotics
Block DA receptors; more extrapyramidal (motor) adverse effects; more effect on positive than negative S/S
Atypical antipsychotics
Blocks DA receptors but potent blockade of 5HT receptors; fewer extrapyramidal effects; effective for positive and negative S/S
Phenothiazines
Block dopamine receptors, especially D2
Chlorpromazine (Thorazine)
Low potency phenothiazine; low extrapyramidal effects
(block dopamine receptors, D2)
Thioridazine (Mellaril)
Low potency phenothiazine; low extrapyramidal effects
(block dopamine receptors, D2)
Thiothixene (Navane)
High potency phenothiazines
(block dopamine receptors, D2)
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)
High potency phenothiazines
(block dopamine receptors, D2)
Prochlorperazine (Compazine)
Non-psychiatric phenothiazines; blocks dopamine receptors
Promethazine (Phenergan)
Non-psychiatric phenothiazines; blocks dopamine receptors
Non-phenothiazines MOA
Block dopamine receptors, epecially D2
Haldoperidol (Haldol)
High potency non-phenothiazines; less sedation and anticholinergic but high extrapyramidal effects
Droperidol (Inaspine)
High potency non-phenothiazines;non-psychiatric usage
Resperidone (Risperdal)
Atypical antipsychotics;
Binds 5HT2, DA2
Other uses of Resperidone (Risperdal)
Bipolar, OCD,Tourette's, dementia, conduct disorders
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Atypical antipsychotics; weight gain prominent
Clozapine (Clozaril)
Atypical antipsychotics; blocks DA4 but also 5HT2 alpha 1 and H1; few extrapyramidal but agranulocytosis occurs in 2%; also seizures in 2%
Cocaine
Block reuptake of DA, NE, 5HT; local anesthetic; vasoconstriction
Amphetamines
Block catecholamine uptake and causes release of dopamine; causes permanent degeneration of dopaminergic neurons
MDMA
Methylenedioxy-derivatives of methamphetamine; selective serotonergic neurotoxin that causes degeneration of 5HT
GHB
Powerful CNS depressants; anesthetic; derived from GABA; Inhibi centra DA release and mediate some effects through GABA receptor
Ketamine
Disociative anesthetic (catatonia, amnesia, analgesia w/o loss of consciousness); CV stimulant
LSD
Hallucinogens that cause perceptual distortion and mood changes; sympathetic and central stimulation; related to ketamine; causes detachment, disorientation, numbness, nystagmus, sweating, HTN
Cannabinoids
Active ingredient: THC; binding site is anandamide (found widespread in brain); euphoria, relaxation, poor concentration, laughter
Dronabinal (Marinol)
For N/V associated with chemotherapy; derivative of cannabinoids
