  1. Antipsychotic Therapy: Managing Extrapyramidal Effects John Lauriello, M.D.

  2. Extrapyramidal Side Effects of Antipsychotic Medications • Parkinsonism and Dystonia • Tardive Dyskinesia • Akathisia • Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome

  3. Effectiveness of a Particular Treatment • Extent to which a particular treatment helps individuals afflicted with a particular illness in their lives • = Efficacy + Tolerability + Compliance

  4. Rule#1: Efficacy FirstSide Effects SecondRule #2: No Side EffectNo Effect

  5. Tolerability • Nuisance (patient comfort) vs life threatening • Often time-limited • Often easily managed • Mild-moderate EPS, prolactin elevation, sexual dysfunction Side Effects of AntipsychoticsTolerability vs Safety • Mixed Safety & Tolerability • Akathisia • Weight gain • Metabolic risk factors • Sedation • Safety • Life threatening • Acute or chronic • Cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes • NMS, laryngospasm Adapted from Newcomer, JW. J Clin Psychiatry. 2007;68(suppl1):20-27.

  22. Barriers to EPS Diagnosis • Outdated notion that EPS is a therapeutic benefit • Difficulty getting accurate history • Acceptance of EPS as part of mental illness • Overlap between behavioral manifestations of EPS and psychiatric symptoms • Lack of training in EPS diagnosis • Belief that atypical antipsychotics do not cause EPS

  34. Akathisia Subjective Sense of Restlessness Objective Sense of Restlessness Associated Distress Often described as coming from the body Associated with medication use Is it really an EPS?

  35. Causes of Restless Syndromes(Akathisia differential) Idiopathic Antipsychotics Antidepressants Anti-emetics: Metoclopromide, Prochloperazine, Promethazine Stimulants: Amphetamines, Caffeine, Coffee Antihistamines Drug Withdrawal: Opiates, Barbiturates, Cocaine, Benzodiazepines. Alcohol, Cannabis Serotonin Syndrome Chondromalacia patella

  36. When Akathisia Is Missed  Akathisia Akathisia not diagnosed Raise in dose worsens akathisia Doctor responds to worsening of “psychosis”  Dose  “Psychosis”

  37. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome NMS life-threatening (10%) complication of treatment with antipsychoticdrugs Fever, severe muscle rigidity,and autonomic and mental status changes Estimatesof the incidence once ran as high as 3% of patients treatedwith antipsychotics, more recent data suggest an incidence of0.01%–0.02% Reintroduction of antipsychotics possible Strawn et al Am J Psychiatry 164:870-876, June 2007

  38. Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome F – Fever A – Autonomic instability L – Leukocytosis T – Tremor E – Elevated enzymes (elevated CPK) R – Rigidity of muscles

  39. NMS-Differential Encephalitis Status Epilepticus Heat Stroke Malignant Hyperthermia Serotonin Syndrome Drug Intoxication

  40. Treatment of EPS

  41. PORT Psychopharmacology Treatment Recommendations • Evidence for differences among antipsychotic agents in the risk for developing EPS ranking is high-potency FGAs > mid-potency FGAs = risperidone > low-potency FGAs > olanzapine, ziprasidone > quetiapine > clozapine. • There is currently insufficient evidence to rank aripiprazole nor to further refine the ranking of FGAs. • FGA medications, prophylactic use of antiparkinson agents to reduce the incidence of EPS should be determined on a case by case basis. The use of prophylactic antiparkinson agents in people treated with SGA medications is not warranted. • SGA medications, including clozapine, and several adjunctive agents have been evaluated for the treatment of TD. However, there is insufficient evidence to support a recommendation for the use of any specific agent to treat TD. • NMS occurs rarely but has been associated with treatment with both FGA and SGA medications. Since the last update, there is additional evidence available on the risk of NMS with antipsychotic medications, including clozapine, and therefore, the previous recommendation to select clozapine as the first-line treatment for individuals with previous NMS is no longer being included. There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of a specific antipsychotic medication for people who have previously developed NMS. Buchanan et al Schizophrenia Bulletin 2010 Jan, 36 (1) 71-93

  42. Reduce Dopamine Blocking Load EPS appears to be dose related Use lowest maintenance oral dose Consider switching to long acting antipsychotic agent Switch to a different antipsychotic Use an “antidote” medication

(2002), Poster presented at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the CINP, Montreal, Canada: June 23-27

  45. Agents for Treating EPS

  46. Agents for Treating Tardive Dyskinesia May be reversible but not guaranteed No proven medication treatment Agents that increase dopamine blockade temporarily help--”vicious cycle” Studies of Vitamin D, Omega 3 fatty acids have not held up to large scale studies

  47. Agents for Treating Akathisia

  48. Agents for Treating NMS Benzodiazepines Amantadine 200-400 mg/day Bromocriptine 7.5mg-45 mg/day Dantrolene sodium 1-2.5mg IV initially and then 1mg q6hrs with eventual switch to oral ECT

  49. Achieving Best Outcomes with Antipsychotics • EFFECT FIRST! • Minimize impairment by side-effects • NO EPS • NO USE OF ANTICHOLINERGIC • MINIMIZE OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS • INDIVIDUALIZE THERAPY • MONITOR ON AN ONGOING BASIS • AND THEN MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS
