For most child psychiatrists, the drug interactions most frequently encountered are interactions with other psychotropics. Fluoxetine inhibits the CYP3A isozymes and thus increase the plasma concentration of the tria-zolobenzodiazepines (alprazolam, midazolam, and triazolam), causing increased psychomotor effects (Shader and Greenblatt, 1995). To avoid unwanted psychomotor effects, the dosage of alprazolam should be decreased when it is coadministered with fluoxetine (Chouinard et ah, 1999). Nefazadone has also been shown to increase the pharmacodynamic effects of triazolam and, to a lesser extent, alprazolam (Chouinard et ah, 1999). 

Like fluoxetine, erythromycin and other macrolides inhibit the CYP-3A isoenzyme and increase the levels and effects of the triazolobenzodiazepines (Shader and Greenblatt, 1995 Chouinard et ah, 1999). Midazolam should be avoided or the dosage dropped by 50% in patients receiving erythromycin (Olkkola et ah, 1993). Ketoconazole and itraconazole may also interact with triazolam and midazolam, and combinations of these drugs should be avoided (Varhe et ah, 1994 Chouinard et ah, 1999).

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. 

A third important CYP450 enzyme for antidepressants and mood stabilizers is 3A4. Some benzodiazepines (e.g., alprazolam and triazolam) are substrates for 3A4 (Fig. 6—17). Some antidepressants are 3A4 inhibitors, including the SSRIs fluoxetine and fluvoxamine and the antidepressant nefazodone (Fig. 6—18). Administration of a 3A4 substrate with a 3A4 inhibitor will raise the level of the substrate. For example, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, or nefazodone will raise the levels of alprazolam or triazolam, requiring dose reduction of the benzodiazepine (Fig. 6—18).
