See Important Safety Information below, & Medication Guide here: https://bit.ly/4ivEe2k. AUSTEDO XR®/AUSTEDO® can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with HD. Don’t use if you have liver problems; are taking reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine.
APPROVED USES
AUSTEDO XR is a prescription medicine that is used to treat:
• the involuntary movements (chorea) of Huntington’s disease (HD). AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO does not cure the cause of the involuntary movements, & it does not treat other symptoms of HD, such as problems with thinking or emotions.
• movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts that cannot be controlled TD (tardive dyskinesia).
It is not known if AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO is safe & effective in children.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO can cause serious side effects in people with HD, including: depression, suicidal thoughts, or suicidal actions. Do not start taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO if you are depressed (have untreated depression or depression that is not well controlled by medicine) or have suicidal thoughts. Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts or feelings. This is especially important when AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO is started & when the dose is changed. Call your doctor right away if you become depressed, have unusual changes in mood or behavior, or have thoughts of suicide.
Do not take AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO if you:
• have HD & are depressed or have thoughts of suicide.
• have liver problems.
• are taking reserpine. Do not take medicines that contain reserpine with AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO. If your doctor plans to switch you from taking reserpine to AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO, you must wait at least 20 days after your last dose of reserpine before you start taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO.
• are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medicine. Do not take an MAOI within 14 days after you stop taking AUSTEDO XR/ AUSTEDO. Do not start AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO if you stopped taking an MAOI in the last 14 days. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
• are taking tetrabenazine. If your doctor plans to switch you from tetrabenazine to AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO, take your first dose of AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO on the day after your last dose of tetrabenazine.
• are taking valbenazine.
Other possible serious side effects include:
• Irregular heartbeat (QT prolongation). AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO increases your chance of having certain changes in the electrical activity in your heart. These changes can lead to a dangerous abnormal heartbeat. Taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO with certain medicines may increase this chance.
• Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome. Call your doctor right away & go to the nearest emergency room if you develop these signs & symptoms that do not have another obvious cause: high fever, stiff muscles, problems thinking, very fast or uneven heartbeat, or increased sweating.
• Restlessness. You may get a condition where you feel a strong urge to move. This is called akathisia.
• Parkinsonism. Symptoms include: slight shaking, body stiffness, trouble moving, trouble keeping your balance, or falls.
Sleepiness (sedation) is a common side effect of AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO. While taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO, do not drive a car or operate dangerous machinery until you know how AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO affects you. Drinking alcohol & taking other drugs that may also cause sleepiness while you are taking AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO may increase any sleepiness caused by AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO.
The most common side effects of AUSTEDO in people with HD include sleepiness (sedation), diarrhea, tiredness, & dry mouth.
The most common side effects of AUSTEDO in people with TD include inflammation of the nose & throat (nasopharyngitis) & problems sleeping (insomnia).
The most common side effects of AUSTEDO XR are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO in people with HD or TD. These are not all the possible side effects of AUSTEDO XR/AUSTEDO. Call your doctor for advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit https://www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
See Important Safety Information below; Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning: https://bit.ly/3YhB0s9. AUSTEDO XR®/AUSTEDO® can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with HD. Don’t use if you have liver problems; are taking reserpine, tetrabenazine, or valbenazine.
INDICATIONS & USAGE
AUSTEDO XR is indicated in adults for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD) & for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Depression & Suicidality in HD Patients: AUSTEDO XR can increase the risk of depression & suicidal thoughts & behavior (suicidality) in HD Patients. Balance the risks of depression & suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, & families of the risk of depression & suicidality & instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. AUSTEDO XR is contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, & in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression.
Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR is contraindicated in HD patients who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. AUSTEDO XR is also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; & patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.
Clinical Worsening & Adverse Events in HD Patients: AUSTEDO XR may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, & functional capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for AUSTEDO XR in their patients by assessing the effect on chorea & possible adverse effects.
QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when AUSTEDO XR is administered within the recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome & in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR; intensive symptomatic treatment & medical monitoring; & treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.
Akathisia, Agitation, & Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, & restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.
Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR may cause parkinsonism in TD or HD patients. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.
Sedation & Somnolence: Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR & know how the drug affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects & worsen sedation & somnolence.
Hyperprolactinemia: Tetrabenazine elevates serum prolactin concentrations in humans. If there is a clinical suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory testing should be done & consideration should be given to discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR.
Binding to Melanin-Containing Tissues: Deutetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues & could accumulate in these tissues over time. Prescribers should be aware of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects.
Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (greater than 8% & greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study in HD patients were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, & fatigue. The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (4% & greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies in TD patients were nasopharyngitis & insomnia. Adverse reactions with AUSTEDO XR are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO.

In a significant advancement for those suffering from tardive dyskinesia (TD), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Austedo XR (extended-release deutetrabenazine). This approval brings a new, convenient treatment option for patients grappling with this often debilitating condition.
The most notable advantage of Austedo XR is its once-daily dosing regimen. This is a significant improvement over the immediate-release form, which requires twice-daily dosing. A once-daily pill is easier for patients to adhere to, improving overall treatment compliance.

Auvelity (dextromethorphan/ buproprion) is an NMDA Antagonist and a newer type of medication used in the treatment of Depression (Major Depressive Disorder) at our Philadelphia office. This medication's primary effective agent is dextromethorphan (which is commonly used in cough medications / antitussives). The buproprion (also known as Wellbutrin) in this combination pill works to decrease the effectiveness of a liver enzyme that breaks down dextromethorphan (CYP2D6) thereby increasing the dextromethorphan blood concentration and allowing it to have a longer duration of action, than when it's used for colds (dextromethorphan breaks down relatively quickly). Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, but trials indicate that the dextromethorphan is the medication in this pill, the predominantly is resulting in improved mood. Dextromethorphan works as an N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonist increasing Glutamate levels (again, this is a relatively novel pathway to treat depression). If an individual has failed several anti-depressants, utilizing a different method of treatment (or pathway for treatment) may be a good option. Side effects can include dizziness, nausea and headache (among others). Severe side effects can include elevated blood pressure, severe rash or others. However, most tolerate it well, with per manufacturer, less than a 15% discontinuation rate, due to side effects.
Please talk to your provider about all risks and benefits of this medication before starting, stopping or changing doses. This information is meant to educate providers and give patients more information to discuss with them about their options.

Indication
AVONEX (interferon beta-1a) is approved by FDA to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) to decrease the number of flare-ups and slow the occurrence of some of the physical disability that is common in people with MS. AVONEX is approved for use in people who have experienced a first attack and have lesions consistent with MS on their MRI.
Important Safety Information
Before beginning treatment, you should discuss with your healthcare provider the potential benefits and risks associated with AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a). AVONEX can cause serious side effects including behavioral health problems (including depression, suicide or suicidal thoughts and hallucinations), liver problems (including liver failure and death), serious allergic reactions and skin reactions, heart problems (including heart failure), blood problems, seizures, infections, and thyroid problems. Let your healthcare provider know if you have a history of or are currently experiencing behavioral health problems, seizures, liver, thyroid, heart, or bleeding problems, autoimmune disease, low blood cell count, or if you have had previous allergic reactions to interferon beta. Tell your healthcare provider if you drink alcohol, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, and all the medicines you currently take or have taken. You should not breastfeed while taking AVONEX. The most common side effects of AVONEX are flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, muscle aches, and tiredness) early during the course of therapy. Usually, these symptoms last for a day after the injection.

Buprenorphine has become increasingly popular among experts in restless legs syndrome (RLS) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe RLS when opioid treatment is required. @andyberkowskimd of ReLACS Health describes the three main forms of buprenorphine that can be prescribed for RLS in this week's video.
To understand why buprenorphine may be a good choice among opioids, watch this video on buprenorphine treatment for RLS:
https://youtu.be/nCoKMINDiwk
Opioids are a mainstay of treatment for moderate-to-severe restless legs syndrome (RLS) when first-line medications have not worked. Buprenorphine is a unique opioid as it is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor unlike most other opioids. The effect of this chemical difference is the reason buprenorphine has little risk of causing breathing problems that could lead to death in the event of a poisoning/overdose. This long-acting drug is also less likely to be abused, which is the reason it has become the go-to medication for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). However, the same benefits for OUD can be seen in its use for restless legs syndrome.
For RLS, there is a lot of confusion over forms and dosing for RLS, which will be substantially lower than for OUD and generally lower than for pain conditions. The three prime forms of buprenorphine for RLS are under the tongue (sublingual), through a patch against the skin (transdermal), and against the cheek and gum (buccal). They each have their pros and cons and Dr. Berkowski discusses each.
The sublingual film or tablet (e.g. Suboxone®, Subutex®) dissolves under the tongue to enter the bloodstream. Some forms like Suboxone come with naloxone added, which is an opioid blocker that can deter abuse from illicit injection, but it is almost completely inactive when absorbed under the tongue. The benefit to this form is the generally low out-of-pocket cost, but the downside is that it has a much higher strength, as intended for opioid use disorder originally. Thus, for RLS, the Suboxone film is often cut into smaller portions, such as 1/8 or 1/4 of 2 mg buprenorphine as a starting dose, which also makes it more cumbersome to administer. Another downside is the lack of awareness among clinicians that Suboxone can be prescribed by any provider with a DEA license for indications of RLS and pain; no special XDEA license is needed. In fact, it is a Schedule III drug, so less highly regulated than others like hydrocodone (e.g. Norco®), oxycodone, or methadone.
The transdermal patch (Butrans®) comes in increments of 5 mcg/hr/week up to 20 mcg/hr/week. It is much less potent than Suboxone so ideal for starting at 5 mcg/hr/week for RLS. The benefit is also a consistent level of medicine in the body 24/7 (in theory) so no, even minor, ups and downs from taking it. The downside is the patch lasts 7 days and then switched so it makes dosing and a day-to-day changes less flexible. Also, it can occasionally cause skin irritation that the other preparations lack. It is more expensive out-of-pocket than Suboxone and other sublingual preparations.
The final form is the buccal film (Belbuca®) that is placed and dissolves between the cheek and gum. It comes in lower doses more appropriate for RLS but is probably the most expensive if not covered by insurance. It starts at 75 mcg and there are doses as high as 900 mcg, usually well beyond what is needed even for severe RLS.
Unfortunately, there are no good ways to compare the strength of each relative to each other. Even micrograms of one cannot be compare to micrograms of another so switching among forms may be challenging. Based on experience in RLS, a starting dose may be 1/8 Suboxone 2 mg film once daily, Belbuca 75 mcg once daily, or Butrans 5 mcg/hr/week, but the Suboxone may be stronger even at this dosage.
It is important to note that though buprenorphine has significantly lower risk of breathing problems, addiction, dependence, and other side effects than standard opioids, it is a DEA schedule III controlled substance. Misuse, overdose, abuse, and/or poisoning, particularly in combination with other drugs and substances can cause severe and potentially life-threatening effects not limited to severe impairment, shallow breathing, coma, and death. Buprenorphine can be used inappropriately for non-medical purposes, and there is a non-zero risk for dependence, even with appropriate use, though it has a significantly lower risk for dependence or abuse than standard opioids. Opioids like buprenorphine require strict supervision and management by a licensed medical practitioner.
