Atypical Antipsychotics Mnemonic for NCLEX | Mechanism of Action, Side Effects, Nursing Pharmacology

Review Atypical Antipsychotics (vs Typical Antipsychotics) and their mechanism of action.
Study this Atypical Antipsychotics mnemonic and other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.
Atypical antipsychotics are a drug class used to treat psychosis in schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions, and are also used as mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder. Drugs in this category include clozapine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, risperidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone. Side effects of these drugs include extrapyramidal symptoms, abbreviated EPS, which refers to a constellation of movement problems, like tremors, muscle spasms, and restlessness. Atypical antipsychotics are also well known for causing metabolic syndrome and weight gain. Other side effects include sedation, anticholinergic effects, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome, abbreviated NMS. NMS is a medical emergency characterized by muscle rigidity, fever, confusion, and unstable vitals. Clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, or a rapid fall in white blood cells, and ziprasidone can cause QT prolongation and the abnormal heart rhythm of torsades de pointes.

@@Pixorize I love your videos. They are so helpful. By the way, I'm a pharmacist and I'm preparing for naplex. Can I use these videos for my naplex exam prep also? Or do you have some other videos for pharmacists specifically?

Aripiprazole is partial agonist which makes it useful in people with both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia

[@hannahdavid9174]

You should note that atypical antipsychotics cause less extrapyramidal symptoms compared to the typical antipsychotics! great video otherwise.

[@katjorbar]

Thanks for pointing that out! Maybe that's why the "EPS" truck is further away.

[@176-yashgupta3]

And they don't cause hyperprolactinemia as well. Unlike typical antipsychotic

[@uduakdan6209]

Like how do you come up with these???
I love it.
I just got a new jotter. I draw your pic into my notes. This makes it live rent free in my head!!!

[@geniejoseph618]

As a former patient on these medications for ten years... When do I get my money!?!

[@Nancy-ow9wy]

How are you doing now?

[@alyssacabigas5410]

is aripiprazole 3rd gen antipsychotics?

[@hemlighet]

What about tardive dyskinesia?

[@monicamalek5359]

tardive dyskinesia is under EPS since uncontrollable symptoms can occur, like frequent eye blinking, sticking out of the tongue, tongue rolling, grimacing of the face, lip-smacking, and lip puckering. Dystonia is similar to tardive dyskinesia since it is uncontrollable movements seen in the head and neck, some examples you would see is eyes are rolled up, and laryngeal spasms. Therefore in this video it has mentioned those symptoms under EPS. hope that helps!!

[@Jujucane]

EPS is common for typical antipsychotics haloperidol and fluphenazine
