            Warnings

            Black Box Warnings

            Children and Antidepressants

            • In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (age <24 yr) taking antidepressants for major depressive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses
            • This increase was not seen in patients aged >24 yr; slight decrease in suicidal thinking was seen in adults >65 yr; risks must be weighed in children and young adults against the benefits of taking antidepressants
            • Patients should be monitored closely for changes in behavior, clinical worsening, and suicidal tendencies; monitor during the initial 1-2 months of therapy and dosage adjustments
            • Patient’s family should communicate to the healthcare provider any abrupt changes in behavior
            • Worsening behavior and suicidal tendencies that are not part of the presenting symptoms may require discontinuation of therapy
            • Not approved for pediatric patients

            Antipsychotics & Dementia

            • Patients with dementia-related psychosis that are treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death as shown in short-term controlled trials; deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature
            • Not approved for treatment of dementia-related psychosis

            Central nervous system (CNS) depressants

            • Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound respiratory depression, coma, and death; administer concomitantly when there are no alternative options; limit dosages and durations to minimum required; monitor for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation

            Addiction, abuse, and misuse

            • On September 2020, FDA addressed serious risks of benzodiazepine addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death
            • Physical dependence can occur when taken steadily for several days to weeks, even as prescribed
            • Stopping abruptly or reducing dosage too quickly can result in withdrawal reactions, including seizures, which can be life-threatening
            • Assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing and monitor regularly for the development of these behaviors or conditions
            • Abuse and misuse of benzodiazepines commonly involve concomitant use of other medications, alcohol, and/or illicit substances, which is associated with an increased frequency of serious adverse outcomes; before prescribing and throughout treatment, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction
            • Risks of dependence and withdrawal increase with longer treatment duration and higher daily dose; although injection is indicated only for intermittent use, if used more frequently than recommended, abrupt discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction may precipitate acute withdrawal reactions, including seizures, which can be life-threatening; use gradual taper when discontinuing therapy to reduce withdrawal reactions risk

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Severe cardiovascular disorders

            Angle clossure glaucoma

            Within 14 days of MAOIs

            Any drugs or conditions that prolong QT interval

            Acute recovery post-MI

            Cautions

            Caution in BPH, urinary/GI retention, increased IOP, thyroid dysfunction, open-angle glaucoma, seizure disorders, brain tumor, respiratory impairment, respiratory disease,

            Clinical worsening & suicide ideation may occur despite medication in adolescents & young adults (aged 18-24 yr)

            Write prescription for smallest effective dose

            Risk of anticholinergic side-effects

            May cause orthostatic hypotension

            Paradoxical reactions including hyperactive or aggressive behavior reported

            Both agents may cause sedation and impair ability to perform tasks requiring mental alertness

            SIADH and hyponatremia reported with therapy

            Some patients may experience a large increase in amitriptyline concentration in presence of topiramate; any adjustments in amitriptyline dose should be made according to patient's clinical response and not on basis of plasma level

            Observational studies have demonstrated that concomitant use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines increases risk of drug-related mortality compared to use of opioids alone; if a decision is made to prescribe the drug concomitantly with opioids, prescribe the lowest effective dosages and minimum durations of concomitant use; follow patients closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation; advise both patients and caregivers about risks of respiratory depression and sedation when the drug is used with opioids

            Use of drug, particularly in patients at elevated risk of abuse, necessitates counseling about risks and proper use of drug along with monitoring for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction; do not exceed recommended dosing frequency

            Avoid or minimize concomitant use of CNS depressants and other substances associated with abuse, misuse, and addiction (eg, opioid analgesics, stimulants); advise patients on proper disposal of unused drug; if a substance use disorder is suspected, evaluate patient and institute (or refer them for) early treatment, as appropriate

            For patients using treated more frequently than recommended, to reduce risk of withdrawal reactions, use a gradual taper to discontinue therapy (a patient-specific plan should be used to taper the dose)

            Patients at an increased risk of withdrawal adverse reactions after benzodiazepine discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction include those who take higher dosages, and those who have had longer durations of use

            In some cases, benzodiazepine users have developed a protracted withdrawal syndrome with withdrawal symptoms lasting weeks to more than 12 months

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Advise patients that there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to this drug combination during pregnancy

            Use of this medication late in pregnancy can result in sedation (respiratory depression, lethargy, hypotonia) and/or withdrawal symptoms(hyperreflexia, irritability, restlessness, tremors, inconsolable crying, and feeding difficulties) in the neonate

            Advise pregnant females that receiving therapy late in pregnancy can result in sedation (respiratory depression, lethargy, hypotonia) and/or withdrawal symptoms (hyperreflexia, irritability, restlessness, tremors, inconsolable crying, and feeding difficulties) in newborns

            Instruct patients to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant

            Monitor neonates exposed during pregnancy or labor for signs of sedation and monitor neonates exposed during pregnancy for signs of withdrawal; manage these neonates accordingly

            Lactation

            Advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
