Known as atypical antipsychotics2
- Second-generation antipsychotics, known as atypical antipsychotics, were introduced firstly with clozapine in the early 1970s followed by others (e.g. risperidone). (wikipedia.org)
- Years later, the development of a newer class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics was seen as a game-changer in the field. (drugwatcher.org)
Atypical16
- Bipolar disorder (acute mania and mixed episodes) may be treated with either typical or atypical antipsychotics, although atypical antipsychotics are usually preferred because they tend to have more favourable adverse effect profiles and, according to a recent meta-analysis, they tend to have a lower liability for causing conversion from mania to depression. (wikipedia.org)
- In this indication it is a common practice for the psychiatrist to prescribe a combination of an atypical antipsychotic and an antidepressant as this practice is best supported by the evidence. (wikipedia.org)
- Aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic, is used as add-on medication to ameliorate sexual dysfunction as a symptom of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants in women. (wikipedia.org)
- However, there are some differences when it comes to typical and atypical antipsychotics. (wikipedia.org)
- For example, atypical antipsychotic medications have been seen to lower the neurocognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia more than conventional antipsychotics, although the reasoning and mechanics of this are still unclear to researchers. (wikipedia.org)
- On the other hand, atypical antipsychotics are a newer class of drugs that are also called second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs). (drugwatcher.org)
- The first atypical antipsychotic drug was clozapine. (drugwatcher.org)
- In other words, it is believed that atypical antipsychotics have more clinical advantages compared to typical antipsychotics. (drugwatcher.org)
- However, at present, the more negative effects of atypical antipsychotics have been coming to light - particularly with risperidone. (drugwatcher.org)
- Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic medication also sold under the brand name Risperdal. (drugwatcher.org)
- Furthermore, the clinical antipsychotic trials of intervention effectiveness (CATIE) also found that in spite of patients' high tolerability to atypical antipsychotics, at present, there is a high dropout rate in the use of these drugs due to either inefficacy or intolerable side effects. (drugwatcher.org)
- Two of the interviewees, Kane and Lieberman were intensively involved in research with atypical antipsychotic drugs in the treatment of schizophrenia. (inhn.org)
- 1984). Lieberman was also principal investigator of the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE), which conclusively demonstrated that "atypical neuroleptics" offered a different side effect profile from typical neuroleptics but no advantages in terms of efficacy and therapeutic profile in the treatment of schizophrenia (Lieberman, Stroup, McEvoy et al. (inhn.org)
- Recent evidence has questioned modern psychiatric clinical practice, specifically the prescribing of "atypical" antipsychotics. (cambridge.org)
- 93% (n=600) of respondents chose to prescribe "atypical" antipsychotics (excluding Clozapine), 6% (n=42) choosing "typical" antipsychotics, 1% (n=6) choosing Clozapine as first-line therapy. (cambridge.org)
- 89% (n=530) of responders chose to prescribe "atypical" antipsychotics (excluding Clozapine), 7% (n=40) choosing "typical" antipsychotics, 4% (n=23) choosing Clozapine as first-line therapy. (cambridge.org)
Second generation antipsychotics1
- A more recent controlled trial suggests that second generation antipsychotics combined with intensive psychosocial therapy may potentially prevent pallidal brain volume loss in first episode psychosis. (wikipedia.org)
Conventional antipsychotics1
- Sometimes also referred to as conventional antipsychotics, examples of some best known typical antipsychotics were Haldol (haloperidol) and Thorazine (chlorpromazine). (drugwatcher.org)
Late 1950s2

Neuroleptics2
- Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics, are a class of psychotropic medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia but also in a range of other psychotic disorders. (wikipedia.org)
- Formerly referred to as major tranquilizers or neuroleptics, antipsychotic medications are generally used to treat psychotic disorders. (drugwatcher.org)
Chlorpromazine1
- First-generation antipsychotics (e.g. chlorpromazine), known as typical antipsychotics, were first introduced in the 1950s, and others were developed until the early 1970s. (wikipedia.org)
Psychosis3
- There are evidence-based indications for using antipsychotics in children (e.g. tic disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis), but the use of antipsychotics outside of those contexts (e.g. to treat behavioral problems) warrants significant caution. (wikipedia.org)
- The main aim of treatment with antipsychotics is to reduce the positive symptoms of psychosis, that include delusions and hallucinations. (wikipedia.org)
- And although this class of antipsychotics is effective in the treatment of psychosis and positive symptoms of schizophrenia, a major drawback of these drugs is that they are associated with a wide array of side effects. (drugwatcher.org)
Medication1
- Psychiatry trainees' choice of antipsychotic medication for both patients and themselves is based on perceived benefits, as opposed to evidence base and recent literature. (cambridge.org)
Medications2
- Antipsychotics can also be used as standalone mood stabiliser medications. (wikipedia.org)
- All antipsychotic medications work relatively the same way: by antagonizing D2 dopamine receptors. (wikipedia.org)
Efficacy1

Early1
- Typical antipsychotics were developed in the early 1950s. (drugwatcher.org)
Side3
- The use of antipsychotics may result in many unwanted side effects such as involuntary movement disorders, gynecomastia, impotence, weight gain and metabolic syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
- As a result, these patients had to suffer from movement disorders, which is a common side effect in typical antipsychotics. (drugwatcher.org)
- The term "neuroleptic" was used to describe these side effects and therefore was closely associated with typical antipsychotics. (drugwatcher.org)
Generally1
- Antipsychotics are generally not recommended for treating behavioral problems associated with dementia, given that the risk of use tends to be greater than the potential benefit. (wikipedia.org)
Trial1

Negative1
- There is mixed evidence to support a significant impact of antipsychotic use on primary negative symptoms (such as apathy, lack of emotional affect, and lack of interest in social interactions) or on cognitive symptoms (memory impairments, reduced ability to plan and execute tasks).

- This satirical disparagement of practice patterns is supported by cataloguing the shortcomings of research supporting biochemical theories of etiology after which he also castigates the tendency of industry to over inflate the benefits of "me-too" drugs despite the better benefits of older and cheaper generic drugs, demonstrated by federally-funded effectiveness studies like the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) (Lieberman, Stroup, McEvoy et al. (inhn.org)
Side effects2
- The use of antipsychotics may result in many unwanted side effects such as involuntary movement disorders, gynecomastia, impotence, weight gain and metabolic syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
