Miscellaneous
What is mesolimbic?

their antipsychotic effects at
this dopamine tract

and/or EPS is this
1,7

this neurotransmitter, when
blocked, will treat some EPS
side effects
1,8

1,9
What is low potency and high potency?
Correlating with their D2 receptor’s
binding affinity, FGAs are
grouped into these
two categories
2,1

antipsychotic medication,
but was also the first
psychotropic medication
2,3

To have a clinical effect, the dose
of antipsychotic medications
with a strong D2 receptor
binding affinity will be this
2,4
What is treatment of EPS side effects?
Low potency FGA’s antagonism of
muscarinic receptors is helpful
because it results in this
2,5
What are H1, M1, & α1?
At clinically effective doses, low
potency antipsychotic block these
types of receptors that high
potency antipsychotics do not
2,6
What is akathisia?
Drug induced Parkinsonism,
Dystonia, and this are often
referred to as Extra Pyramidal
Syndrome or EPS
2,7
What is Typical antipsychotics?
Historically, first generation
antipsychotics (FGA’s) have been
referred as major tranquilizers,
neuroleptics, conventional
antipsychotics, and this
2,8
What are weak?
Antipsychotic medications that
require a large dose to be clinically
effective have this type of D2
receptor binding affinity
2,9
What is aripiprazole (Abilify)?
The SGA with a mechanism of
action of partial dopamine
agonism is this
3,1
What is Clozapine (Clozaril)?
Useful in treatment resistant
schizophrenia, this SGA may
treat negative symptoms, tardive
dyskinesia, and lower the
risk of suicide
3,2
What is hit and run?
The minority view of the SGA’s
mechanism of action where the
drug blocks D2 receptors long
enough for the antipsychotic effect
but not so long as to cause side
effects is this
3,3
What is D2 & 5HT2 receptors?
SGA’s work by blocking these
two types of receptors
3,4
What is  qTc interval?
This cardiac related side effect is most
problematic with ziprasidone (Geodon)
and the FGA thioridazine (mellaril), but
may also be an issue with other
SGA’s and FGA’s
3,5
What is risperidone (Risperdal) & paliperidone
(Invega)?
Of all the SGAs, these two have the
highest risk of causing EPS and
prolactin elevation
3,6
What is ziprasidone (Geodon) or aripiprazole (Abilify)?
The SGA’s with the least risk of the
metabolic syndrome are
lurasidone (latuda),
iloperidone (fanapt),
asenapine (saphris) and
this or this
3,7
What is not causing EPS/TD?
Clozapine (Clozaril) was described as
being atypical because of this
3,8
What is weight gain?
The metabolic syndrome is
comprised of hyperglycemia,
diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia
and this
3,9
What are none?
Neuroleptic Metabolic Syndrome is a
potential risk from use of all
antipsychotics except this
4,1
What is Parkinsonism?
(bradykinesia, tremor, stiffness)
Extrapyramidal side effects (EPS)
include dystonia, akathisia,
and this
4,2
What is gynecomastia?
(hyperprolactinemia)
As seen here,
antipsychotics can
cause this side
effect
4,3
What is creatine phosphokinase (CPK)?
While not diagnostic, the severity and
prognosis for a patient with NMS,
correlates with the degree of
abnormality of this lab
4,4
What is clozapine (Clozaril)?
Myocarditis, increased seizure risk, and
agranulocytosis are rare but
dangerous side effects of this
antipsychotic medication
4,5
What is dystonia?
As seen here,
antipsychotics
may cause this
side effect
4,6
