Antimuscarinic _____ muscarinic antagonists (e.g. Benztropine) can reduce pill rolling tremors and cogwheel rigidity in Parkinson's disease

First Aid Pharmacology: Neuro/Psych_____, nalorphine and nalbuphine are -opioid receptor agonists and weak -opioid receptor antagonists or partial agonists

_____ is an NMDA receptor antagonist indicated in refractory primary or secondary generalized seizures and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Neuro/Psych _____ is a non-ergot D2 receptor agonist that is used in initial treatment of Parkinson disease

Trihexyphenidyl and benztropine are useful for treating the _____ and rigidity of Parkinson disease

_____ is a 5-HT2C agonist indicated as an anti-obesity agent.

Opiate receptor activation causes closure of _____-synaptic Ca2+ channels, which decreases release of neurotransmitters (e.g. ACh, NE, 5-HT, glutamate, substance P)

Motion sickness (vestibular nausea) is treated with _____ and scopolamine

drugs_____ is an 2 agonist that may be used as a muscle relaxant
