Diazepam Fluoxetine

The results showed that the compounds studied with more frequency in the aquatic environment, and of which, logically, there is more information, are the antibiotics, analgesics and anti-inflammatories (like diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, acetylsalicylic acid, and paracetamol), as well as the p-blocker atenolol. In the category of antibiotics, several families are included, like the macrolides (erythromycin), the fluoroquinolones (ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin), sulfonamides (sulfamethoxazole), penicillins (amoxicillin), the metronidazol, and trimethoprim. Other therapeutic groups also widely studied and frequently found in the environmental waters are the lipid regulators (gemfibrozil and bezafibrat), antiepileptic carbamaze-pine, and antidepressants (diazepam, fluoxetine, paroxetine) (see Table 3).

Residential treatment appeared the most likely way of making an impact on Carl s crack cocaine use, and plans were made for an admission. This could not happen immediately, and in the meantime Carl was prescribed fluoxetine 20mg per day, and diazepam 20-30mg per day. He was keen to try to withdraw himself from crack without going into hospital, and he and his mother were instructed about his use of the two medications. They were advised that diazepam would reduce anxiety and agitation, and might help relieve craving for crack. 

One week later Carl told us that he had managed to completely avoid crack use, which was supported by urine sampling. His mother said that he had appeared drowsy on the diazepam, a medication which he had not had before, while Carl reported a generally helpful calming effect He had also taken the fluoxetine, and there was a suggestion of a reduction in depression. After another week the situation was similar, although with the sedative effects...

BZD hypnotics such as midazolam and triazolam are primarily metabolized via the P450 3A3/4 microenzyme system. Other BZDs often used as hypnotics, such as diazepam, can also be metabolized by CYP 33/4 and CYP 2C19. Any drugs that act as inhibitors or inducers of these isoenzymes could increase or decrease BZD levels, respectively (350). Thus, ketoconazole, macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine-norfluoxetine and fluvoxamine), and other antidepressants (especially nefazodone) may decrease clearance and increase BZD levels to potentially toxic ranges. Conversely, rifampacin, CBZ, and dexamethasone may increase clearance and decrease BZD levels to potentially subtherapeutic ranges.

Some naturally occurring neurotransmitters may be similar to drugs we use. For example, it is well known that the brain makes its own morphine (i.e., beta endorphin), and its own marijuana (i.e., anandamide). The brain may even make its own antidepressants, it own anxiolytics, and its own hallucinogens. Drugs often mimic the brain s natural neurotransmitters. Often, drugs are discovered prior to the natural neurotransmitter. Thus, we knew about morphine before the discovery of beta-endorphin marijuana before the discovery of cannabinoid receptors and anandamide the benzodiazepines diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax) before the discovery of benzodiazepine receptors and the antidepressants amitriptyline (Elavil) and fluoxetine (Prozac) before the discovery of the serotonin transporter site. This un-...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, interact with drugs including clarithromycin, warfarin, phenelzine, benzotropine, chlorpromazine, diazepam, and cyproheptadine. Cigarette smokers metabolize SSRIs faster. 

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of olanzapine have been extensively reviewed (266). Olanzapine does not inhibit CYP isozymes, and no clinically significant metabolic interactions were found of olanzapine with aminophylline, biperiden, diazepam, ethanol, fluoxetine, imipramine, lithium, or R/S-warfarin. 

A 28-year-old woman with a long history of psychiatric problems was taking fluoxetine, diazepam, methylphe-nidate, and thioridazine 800 mg qds (17). Fluorescein angiography showed confluent areas of punctate hyperfluorescence, consistent with diffuse retinal pigment epithelial alteration secondary to acute thioridazine toxic effects.

SSRIs are relatively weak compared with ketoconazole, which is possibly 100 times more potent as an inhibitor Warn patients about risks associated with activities that require alertness.
