- APatients 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! - BPsychotropic medications do not work as well when nutrition status is poor.
- CMalnutrition may deplete trytophan which is necessary to make neurotransmitters like serotonin
- DPatients may begin to experience side effects when they are adequately weight restored possibly due to surge in neurotransmitters
- EGoal is to get to a dose that optimizes clinical efficacy while minimizing adverse effects
- APatients with ED’s are more susceptible to adverse side effects, especially if they are purging or if they are at a low weight.
