Hello,
I was wondering if Lurasidone has efficacy in treating severe racing thoughts, paranoia, and delusional ideation. After various google searches, I'm still uncertain about this medications effects. Are there any additional benefits or drawbacks?
Here are the pharmacodynamics:
Lurasidone acts as an antagonist of the following sites:[5]
α2C-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 10.8 nM)
D2 receptor (Ki = 1.0 nM)
5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 0.5 nM)
5-HT7 receptor (Ki = 0.5 nM)
And as a partial agonist of the following sites:[5]
5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 6.8 nM)
Note: All values are rounded to the nearest tenth.
It has only weak or negligible actions at the 5-HT2C, α1-adrenergic, H1, and mACh receptors.[5]
[edit]
Thank you,
