Responda
-
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
