Abstract:
Any antipsychotics provoke more or less ocular complications. Some of them are relatively harmless (i.e., dark eyelids, conjunctival and corneal pigmentation, mydriasis, nystagmus, dry eye etc.). These adverse effects are resolved spontaneously after treatment discontinuation, drug switching, or prescribing additional therapy. However, the intake of both typical and atypical neuroleptics, lithium salts, some anticonvulsants (e.g., topiramate) is associated with high risks of vision loss. Moreover, in some patients these medications may result in blindness. The use of psychotropic drugs (e.g.,

Objective: Anticonvulsant is one class of drugs often used off-label. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and the indication of the off-label use of anticonvulsants in a private hospital in Java, Indonesia.Methods: This was an observational study with a retrospective data collection in a private hospital in Java. Data were obtained on the prescription of anticonvulsants. Indications of the use of anticonvulsants were obtained from the medical records of patients who were prescribed anticonvulsants. The off-label use of anticonvulsants was defined a prescribing of medication

Abstract:
The use of anticonvulsants in psychiatry has steadily increased in recent years. Two anticonvulsants in particular, carbamazepine (CBZ) and valproate (VPA), have become commonplace in psychiatric practice for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Schizoaffective dis order and aggression have also been treated with these agents. Indications, pharmacokinetics, drug inter actions, side effects, and monitoring of the anticonvulsants are discussed. Copyright © 1996 by W.B. Saunders Company

Body weight, the menstrual cycle periodicity and the blood concentration of dihydrotestosterone were monitored in 278 women taking various antiepileptic drugs (valproic acid, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and levetiracetam). The measurements were made at 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment began.Results. Among women taking valproic acid for 12 months, the average weight gain was 14.4%, and in the group of carbamazepine – 5.4%. In women taking lamotrigine and

Abstract:
Clozapine, a novel antipsychotic agent, is an alternative to standard neuroleptic therapy for psychotic disorders. Some advantages of clozapine over neuroleptics are that it may be a more effective antipsychotic in treatment resistant patients and has a lower incidence of extrapyramidal side effects. However, seizures associated with clozapine treatment occur at a rate of about three percent. Factors which seem to increase the likelihood of seizures include high doses of clozapine, rapid dose titration, the concurrent use of other epileptogenic agents and a previous history of neurological abn

Abstract:
Background: Epilepsy is a disease of the central nervous system that affects approximately 50 million individuals worldwide. Although several new drugs have been marketed in the last 25 years, almost one-third of patients are not protected. In many cases, currently available drugs produce undesirable side effects. As a result, a need exists for novel anticonvulsants with unique mechanisms of action and minimal side effects. Methods: A mixed anhydride coupling procedure and standard deprotection procedures were utilized to prepare 36 α-amino acid amides. All final products were evaluated in mic

Abstract:
AbstractApproximately 40% of bipolar patients experience rapid cycling, and half of these suffer from ultra-rapid or ultradian cycling. These patterns are also common in children. Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder is difficult to bring to remission and often requires treatment with four or more classes of psychotropic medications. Lithium, even in combination with anticonvulsants or antidepressants, is often associated with residual episodic depressions. Concerns with adjunctive antidepressant treatment include their low response and remission rates and their tendency to cause switch into mania.

Abstract:
The pharmacotherapy of seizure disorders has long relied on a few standard medications such as phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), valproate (Depakote), and others that represent the “first generation” of anticonvulsants. This article reviews the newer, “second-generation” anticonvulsants that were developed in the last decade. The addition of these second-generation agents has doubled the number of therapies available for the treatment of seizure disorders. They include felbamate (Felbatol), gabapentin (Neurontin), lamotrigine (Lamictal), levetiracetam (Keppra), oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), ti

Abstract:
The anticonvulsant drug, Dilantin, in many cases must be taken by epileptic mothers to control seizures during pregnancy, but unfortunately, it has been characterized as a human teratogen. It has also been demonstrated that many of the teratogenic effects of Dilantin occur during postimplantation, but some studies implicate a detrimental role for Dilantin during the preimplantation stages of development. Some of the postimplantation effects include congenital malformations and the potential'loss of the fetus. Our lab has proposed that in preimplantation mouse embryos the drug may be altering t

Abstract:
Neurocognitive dysfunction is a core feature of bipolar disorder (BD), which may be further compounded by several clinical factors, such as medications. There is growing interest on the potential impact of pharmacotherapy (lithium, anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, and other) on neurocognition. This chapter summarizes a critical, descriptive update of the literature, mostly focused on human data. Based on current studies, medication-associated neurocognitive side effects cannot be clearly distinguished from those intrinsic to BD. Moreover, available research is limited by several methodological

Although psychotherapy is considered first-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), advances have been made in pharmacological treatment. Based on controlled clinical trials, antidepressants remain the first-line pharmacological treatment. Studies suggest that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors reduce PTSD-specific symptoms and improve global outcome. Emerging evidence suggests efficacy for venlafaxine. Other individual agents found to be efficacious include imipramine and phenelzine. Prazosin is emerging as a beneficial adjunct for PTSD-related sleep disturbances and nigh

Abstract:
When the classic ketogenic diet was created in 1921, it was one of the few treatments in existence for the treatment of epilepsy. As a result, its use was widespread and publications were plentiful. The advent of modern anticonvulsant drugs led to relative disuse of the ketogenic diet for many decades, however, until the Charlie Foundation reinvigorated interest and research in 1994. Today there are four major diets available, myriad methods to start and manage patients receiving this therapy, and growing numbers of adolescents and adults being treated.

Abstract:
A final drug class of other agents includes glutamate antagonists, antihistamines, and melatonin agonists. These agents have a range of clinical uses, but most are used symptomatically to produce sedation or reduce anxiety or for other symptoms. The clinical pharmacology of specific agents within each class, including their efficacy and side effects, is explored. Specific phenomena surveyed include the inefficacy of novel anticonvulsants for mood: clinicians and researchers have been excited about novel anticonvulsants, most of which have either anti-glutamate or pro-GABA effects. None have proven effective for affective illness or for any important psychiatric use, except perhaps for some mild anxiolytic effects for the GABAergic agents. The purported benefits of ketamine are also investigated.

Abstract:
The drug class of second-messenger modifiers includes agents called “mood stabilizers.” It consists of lithium and some anticonvulsants: valproate, carbamazepine, and lamotrigine. The standard mood stabilizers each have strengths and weaknesses. Lithium is still the gold standard, most proven agent; no other drug has been clearly shown to be more effective than lithium. The clinical pharmacology of specific agents within each class, including their efficacy and side effects, is explored. Specific phenomena that are surveyed include chronic renal insufficiency, liver side effects, polycystic ovarian syndrome, teratogenicity, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and drug interactions. Benefits for lithium include suicide prevention and possibly dementia prevention.
