anxiety
describe what
occurs,receptors

SSRI tx
low serotoin so post synaptic term upreg, but once a surge occurs of serotonin too much rushes in cause of all the open doors

SSRIs will increast amt of fee serotonin to slowly downreg post synaptic channels
SSRIS in anxiety do what short term
will accutally increase anxiety-so start low and go slow but eventually be a higher dose than depression(8-12wks)
generalized anxiety disorder
drugs for tx
1st line-SSRIs
effexor
TCAs
benzos
buspirone
hydroxyzine
G.A.D.
how do you give the drugs
ALL MEDS Schedules, not PRN

takes 12-16 wks for response

Disadv-serotonin syndrome if OD, early activation, disrupts sleep
GAD
effexor tx
adv vs disad
ad-good for depression + anxiety
disadv-delayed onset, ealy activation
GAD
