Treatment Options for Acute Agitation in Psychiatric Patients: Theoretical and Empirical Evidence
Treatment Options for Acute Agitation in Psychiatric Patients: Theoretical and Empirical Evidence
Acute agitation is a common presenting symptom in the emergency ward and is also dealt with on a routine basis in psychiatry. Usually a symptom of an underlying mental illness, it is considered urgent and immediate treatment is indicated. The ...

Haloperidol is associated with extrapyramidal symptoms (which can be controlled by co-administration of promethazine
may control agitation without inducing sedation
benzodiazepines have a more pronounced sedating activity
atypical antipsychotics aripiprazole and ziprasidone are better tolerated
olanzapine is also a powerful sedative
combination of haloperidol and promethazine, which combines the sedative properties of the antihistamine with the more selective calming action of haloperidol (with a reduced risk of extrapyramidal effects compared to haloperidol alone because of the anticholinergic properties of promethazine) may be the best choice based on empirical evidence.
Droperidol, ziprasidone, aripiprazole, and risperidone may be seen as second-line drugs

An open-label study of amisulpride in the treatment of mania - PubMed
This first prospective study on amisulpride in the treatment of mania suggests that, despite the limitations of the open, observational design and small sample size, amisulpride may be effective and reasonably safe in the treatment of bipolar mania. D(2) and D(3) antagonism may be involved in the me …

Sacral neuromodulation outcomes for the treatment of refractory idiopathic detrusor overactivity stratified by indication: Lack of anticholinergic efficacy versus intolerability
Patients may fail oral overactive bladder therapies due to either poor drug efficacy or intolerability. We determined if the success of sacral neuromodulation varies if performed secondary to lack of anticholinergic efficacy versus drug ...

Tamsulosin (Flomax) helps people urinate when they have an enlarged prostate. Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) is an antipsychotic medication can cause:Retinal damage (retinal degeneration). Thioridazine (Mellaril) is a similar antipsychotic that can also cause these symptoms Tamsulosin (Flomax) for urinary obstruction from enlarged prostate puts you at risk of developing intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery. Prednisone and other steroids can treat many medical conditions, including eye conditions like uveitis. But some people can develop elevated eye pressure while taking this medication. This causes steroid-induced glaucoma, Benadryl A serious side effect some people develop is acute angle-closure glaucoma, which is a medical emergency. Acute angle-closure glaucoma causes permanent vision loss if it’s not treated right away
