Drugs This discussion is worth 50 points total. 40 points will be allotted to your initial post to the discussion and you may earn 5 points for each of 2 responses you must give to your classmates during the day following initial posts. The due date posted is when ALL initial posts must be made to the discussion but you can always post early. You will have an additional week to respond to two classmates in a substantive way before the discussion board will disappear. The topic of this discussion will be psychotropic drugs. You must choose a drug from the following list: 1) Opiates: oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, heroin, methadone, morphine. 2) Anxiolytics: xanax, valium, klonipin, ativan, etc. 3) attention deficit medications: ritalin, vyvanse, adderall, etc. 4) antidepressants: any SSRI, SNRI, wellbutrin, etc. 5) mood stabilizers and antipsychotics: lithium, depakote, tegretol, lamictal, risperdal, seroquel, abilify, etc. 6) recreational drugs and hallucinogens: ecstacy, GHB, ketamine, cocaine, crystal meth, marijuana, ‘shrooms, DMT, PCP, etc. If you have a drug in mind that does not appear on the list, please email me and I can give permission. BEFORE you email me, make sure the drug in question doesn’t fall into one of the categories listed above and isn’t the generic for one of the drugs listed above. For example, if you ask me if you can use diazepam, you will not get a positive response from me as diazepam is the generic name for one of the drugs listed above. Your initial post should address the following in 3 or 4 paragraphs: 1) Name of the drug and generic names. Any medicinal uses of the drug including disorders that might be treated. 2) Typical dosing and pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics: what does this drug do to your body? what neurotransmitters are affected and how? how long does it stay in your body and how is it removed from your body? 3) What is the experience of the drug? How does it affect your consciousness? 4) What are side effects and possible adverse reactions? 5) What is the risk of addiction and what might withdrawal be like? Your responses to classmates must be substantive. You should provide them with additional information and ask thought-provoking questions. All posts (initial and responses to classmates) must be supported by peer-reviewed sources and include citations. Requirements: n.a
