Common side effects include movement problems, sleepiness, dry mouth, low blood pressure upon standing, and increased weight. [6] Serious side effects may include the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia , neuroleptic malignant syndrome , severe lowering of the seizure threshold , and low white blood cell levels . [ 6 ]
Both clozapine and quetiapine appear to bind just long enough to elicit antipsychotic effects but not long enough to induce extrapyramidal side effects and prolactin hypersecretion. [ 175 ] 5-HT 2A antagonism increases dopaminergic activity in the nigrostriatal pathway , leading to a lowered extrapyramidal side effect liability among the ...
Maximum dose methods are sometimes used to compare between antipsychotics as well. [15] It is important to note that these methods do not generally account for differences between the tolerability (i.e. the risk of side effects) or the safety between medications. [15] For a list of typical antipsychotics organized by potency, see below:
Its effects last for between four hours and two days. [6] [7] Potentially serious side effects include a decreased level of consciousness and respiratory depressant. [6] There is potential for both abuse and withdrawal following long-term use. [6] It may also increase the risk of suicide. [6]
Etifoxine has similar anxiolytic effects as benzodiazepine drugs, but does not produce the same levels of sedation and ataxia. [59] Further, etifoxine does not affect memory and vigilance, and does not induce rebound anxiety, drug dependence, or withdrawal symptoms. [59]
Side effects are not common, but the use of acepromazine in stallions should be used with caution (but is not absolutely contraindicated) due to the risk of paraphimosis and priapism. [ 6 ] Acepromazine also lowers blood pressure, and should therefore be used with caution in horses that are experiencing anemia , dehydration , shock , or colic .
It does not bind to blood cells. [2] The drug is known to cross the placental barrier. [2] Etifoxine is metabolized in the liver into several metabolites. [5] One of these metabolites, diethyletifoxine, is pharmacologically active. [5] The elimination half-life of etifoxine is 6 hours and of diethyletifoxine is almost 20 hours. [5]
It is the bromo instead of chloro analogue of alprazolam and has similar sedative and anxiolytic effects to it and other benzodiazepines. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Bromazolam is a non subtype selective agonist at the benzodiazepine site of GABA A receptors , with a binding affinity of 2.81 nM at the α 1 subtype, 0.69 nM at α 2 and 0.62 nM at α 5 .
