High anxiety is a predisposing endophenotype for loss of control over cocaine, but not heroin, self-administration in rats
Abstract
Rationale Although high anxiety is commonly associated with drug addiction, its causal role in this disorder is unclear.
Objectives In light of strong evidence for dissociable neural mechanisms underlying heroin and cocaine addiction, the present study investigated
whether high anxiety predicts the propensity of rats to lose control over intravenous cocaine or heroin self-administration.
Methods Sixty-four rats were assessed for anxiety in the elevated plus-maze, pri
Implementation of a Psychopharmacology Clinic in a County Clinic System
CommUnity Care Clinics of Austin/Travis County offer non-profit health services to medically underserved patients. CommUnity Care health services include family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, and dental services. The CommUnity Care Clinics utilize clinical pharmacists in diabetes and anticoagulation management services.
The behavioral health service component of the clinic included social workers and psychiatrists. A clinical pharmacist trained in psychopharmacology was introduced to help meet the increase demand of psychiatric consult visits. The role of the pharmacist in the psychopharmacology clinic was designed similarly to the diabetes and anticoagulation services.
