Stimulants should be initiated at recommended starting doses and titrated up with a consistent dosing schedule to the appropriate response while minimizing side effects (Table 39-2). Generally, stimulants should not be used in patients who have glaucoma, severe hypertension or cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, severe anxiety, or previous illicit or stimulant drug abuse. Further, stimulants can be used, albeit cautiously, in patients with seizure disorders, Tourette s syndrome, and motor tics.14... 

Anxiety Disorder Due to a General Medical Condition with Panic Attacks. Many medical illnesses are associated with anxiety and even recurrent panic attacks. These include endocrine disorders, such as hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, hypoglycemia, and pheochromocytomas, inner ear (vestibular) dysfunction, seizure disorders, and cardiac (heart) disorders such as supraventricular tachycardia, mitral valve prolapse, and various arrhythmias, and carcinoid. A general physical examination, routine laboratory studies including electrolytes and... 

Anxiety is characterized by fear and apprehension that may or may not be associated with a cieariy identifiabie stimuius. Anxiety is a common reaction to significant life stress, is seen in conjunction with almost every psychiatric disorder, and is a common component of numerous organic disorders as well (e.g., hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, pheochromocytoma, complex partial seizures, pulmonary disorders, acute myocardial infarction, caffeine intoxication, various substances of abuse). Anxiety is almost invariably accompanied by physical symptoms such as the following ... 

The essential feature of this condition is chronic anxiety and worry. To the nonsufferer the focus of the worry often seems to be trivial, e.g. getting the housework done or being late for appointments, but to the patient it is insurmountable. The anxiety is often associated with other symptoms, which include restlessness, difficulty in concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and sleep disturbance. The course of the disorder is typically chronic with exacerbations at times of stress and is often associated with depression. Its chronic nature with worsening at times of stress helps to distinguish GAD from anxiety in the form of episodic panic attacks with associated anticipatory anxiety (panic disorder). Hyperthyroidism and caffeinism should also be excluded. 

Clinica use Primarily as an antihypertensive agent. Also used for controlling ventricular rate in AF, post-Mi,CHF, angina, and hyperthyroidism. Additionally, propranolol maybe used for migraine headaches, essential tremors, and anxiety. The nonselectlve faeta-blockers are useful in the treatment of hepatic portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis. Topical agents are used to lower intraocular pressures in patients with glaucoma.

Systemic adverse effects of epinephrine include headache, faintness, increased blood pressure, tachycardia, arrhythmias, tremor, pallor, anxiety, and increased perspiration. Epinephrine should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, aphakia, CAG, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes melhtus, as well as in patients undergoing anesthesia with halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetics. Using NLO with epinephrine and dipivefrin wiU improve therapeutic response and reduce the risk of systemic adverse effects. ... 

Other conditions that may in some way relate to excess sympathetic activity are also being successfully treated with P-blockers. These include akathesia, anxiety, hyperthyroidism (where tremors may be due to overproduction of catecholamines), menopause, migraine, and other types of tremors (it may be recalled that excessive p-agonist dosing in asthmatics can cause tremors). 

The adrenergic symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as palpitation, tremor, anxiety, or heat intolerance are promptly relieved by coadministration of betablockers. Nonselective betablockers, such as propanolol, are preferred because of their more direct effect on hypermetabolism with positive effect of tremor or myopathy and the peripheral inhibition of conversion from T4 to T3 (Nolte 1995). The dose should be increased progressively until symptoms are controlled. Betablockers should be used cautiously in patients with intrinsic asthma or congestive heart failure. 

Epinephrine usually Is administered slowly by Intravenous (IV) Injection to relieve acute asthmatic attacks not controlled by other treatments. Intravenous Injection produces an Immediate response. Use of EPI with drugs that enhance cardiac arrhythmias (digitalis or quinidine) Is not recommended. Tricyclic antidepressants and MAO Inhibitors will potentiate the effects of EPI on the heart. Epinephrine should be used with caution In Individuals suffering from hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or diabetes. Adverse effects Include palpitations, tachycardia, sweating, nausea and vomiting, respiratory difficulty, dizziness, tremor, apprehension, and anxiety. 

Discontinue in the event of seizures or agitation. Do not take if you have high biood pressure, hyperthyroidism, recent heart attack, marked anxiety, giaucoma, tics, Tourette s syndrome in you or your famiiy, psychosis, epiiepsy, or substance abuse. Monitor biood pressure and compiete biood counts, inciuding differentiai and piateiets. May interact with MAOis taken within two weeks, anticonvuisants, anti-coaguiants, antidepressants, and other medicines that lower or raise blood pressure.
