These are pearls from Mary Carter about the treatment of EDOs
Respuesta
-
Patients with ED’s are more susceptible to adverse side effects, especially if they are purging or if they are at a low weight.
START LOW AND GO SLOW!
-
Psychotropic medications do not work as well when nutrition status is poor.
-
Malnutrition may deplete trytophan which is necessary to make neurotransmitters like serotonin
-
Patients may begin to experience side effects when they are adequately weight restored possibly due to surge in neurotransmitters
-
Goal is to get to a dose that optimizes clinical efficacy while minimizing adverse effects
