Great summary of pharmacological medications. It was interesting to hear how the different medications worked within the brain, how the meds influence the neurotransmitters by reducing or increasing the effect of the neurotransmitters. This is very helpful as I work with clients who are prescribed meds for different reasons. I recently had a client who had adverse reactions to their medication and I wish I had known why they were having the problems. It wasn't so much an issue with side effects that were listed in the presentation as it was the effects the medication had on the neurotransmitters. It was surprising to hear that only 5%of people trying to recover from substance use actually succeed. Great presentation for the use of medications to increase the likelihood of substance abuse recovery.

Just wanted to let you know that the first slide that shows the atypical antipsychotics has an error. Quetiapine is the generic name for Seroquel and olanzapine is the generic name for Zyprexa :)

0:58 Sigh.. running into "still a topic of debate", "no known mechanism of action" and other things is bittersweet. On one hand its a bummer that even the people on the cutting edge aren't sure but also on the other had its comforting to know that even people on the cutting edge aren't sure.

@@oopalonga Why do SSRi work?

[@shitbag.]

Better yet why does histamine have an effect on mood?

@@oopalonga it's disappointing and exciting that the science is open ended.
