- 0:37a
- 0:37transporter.
- 0:38A
- 0:38high
- 0:38affinity
- 0:39drug
- 0:39will
- 0:39cling
- 0:40tightly.
- 0:40It
- 0:40only
- 0:41takes
- 0:41a
- 0:41small
- 0:41dose
- 0:41to
- 0:42activate
- 0:42or
- 0:42block

- 0:43And

- 0:46It

- 0:46higher
- 0:47dose
- 0:47to
- 0:47get
- 0:47the
- 0:47same

- 0:48It's
- 0:49the

- 0:50A

- 0:55it
- 0:55note.
- 0:56Now,
- 0:56why
- 0:57does
- 0:57affinity
- 0:57matter
- 0:58to
- 0:58you?
- 0:58Because
- 0:59every
- 0:59time
- 1:00you
- 1:00prescribe
- 1:00a
- 1:00medication,
- 1:02you've
- 1:02got
- 1:02to
- 1:02think
- 1:03about
- 1:03it.
- 1:03What
- 1:04are
- 1:04going
- 1:04to
- 1:04be
- 1:04the
- 1:04first
- 1:04and
- 1:05second
- 1:05and
- 1:05third
- 1:05order
- 1:05effects
- 1:06of
- 1:06what
- 1:06I'm
- 1:06doing?
- 1:07And
- 1:07some
- 1:07medications.
- 1:08Let's
- 1:08take
- 1:08Remeron
- 1:09as
- 1:09an
- 1:09example.
- 1:10It's
- 1:11going
- 1:11to
- 1:11do
- 1:11a
- 1:11lot
- 1:11of
- 1:12different
- 1:12things.
- 1:13You're
- 1:13going
- 1:13to
- 1:13prescribe
- 1:14Remeron
- 1:14and
- 1:14it's
- 1:15going
- 1:15to
- 1:15make
- 1:15that
- 1:15patient
- 1:15tired.
- 1:16Why
- 1:16is
- 1:16that?
- 1:17Because
- 1:17it
- 1:17has
- 1:17a
- 1:18very
- 1:18high
- 1:18affinity
- 1:19for
- 1:20histamine.
- 1:20It
- 1:21blocks
- 1:21the
- 1:21H1
- 1:22receptor,
- 1:22which
- 1:23results
- 1:23in
- 1:24sedation.
- 1:24And
- 1:24it
- 1:25does
- 1:25that
- 1:25first
- 1:25because
- 1:26it
- 1:26has
- 1:26the
- 1:26strongest
- 1:27affinity
- 1:28for
- 1:29histamine.
- 1:30Well,
- 1:30that's
- 1:30really
- 1:31important.
- 1:31And
- 1:31by
- 1:32the
- 1:32way,
- 1:32how
- 1:32is
- 1:33affinity
- 1:34measured?
- 1:35It's
- 1:35measured
- 1:35in
- 1:36Ki.
- 1:36It's
- 1:36an
- 1:36inhibition
- 1:37constant.
- 1:38When
- 1:38you
- 1:38see
- 1:39a
- 1:39low
- 1:39Ki
- 1:40value,
- 1:41that
- 1:41means
- 1:41your
- 1:42medication
- 1:42has
- 1:42a
- 1:43very
- 1:43high
- 1:43affinity
- 1:44for
- 1:44that
- 1:44receptor.
- 1:45So
- 1:45Remeron
- 1:46has
- 1:46a
- 1:46very
- 1:47low
- 1:48Ki,
- 1:48or
- 1:49an
- 1:49inhibition
- 1:50constant,
- 1:50also
- 1:50known
- 1:51as
- 1:51inhibition
- 1:52constant
- 1:52Ki.
- 1:53It
- 1:53has
- 1:53a
- 1:53very
- 1:53low
- 1:54Ki,
- 1:54AKA
- 1:55higher
- 1:55affinity
- 1:56or
- 1:56tighter
- 1:56binding
- 1:57for
- 1:57histamine.
- 1:58A
- 1:58higher
- 1:58Ki
- 1:59would
- 1:59mean
- 1:59your
- 1:59medication
- 2:00has
- 2:00a
- 2:00very
- 2:00weak
- 2:01affinity
- 2:01for
- 2:03a
- 2:03particular
- 2:03receptor.
- 2:04So
- 2:04with
- 2:04remeron,
- 2:05the
- 2:05D2
- 2:06receptor,
- 2:06you
- 2:07see
- 2:07actually
- 2:07a
- 2:07very
- 2:07high
- 2:08Ki,
- 2:08because
- 2:10it
- 2:11needs.
- 2:12It
- 2:12doesn't
- 2:12basically
- 2:13affect
- 2:13the
- 2:13D2
- 2:13receptor
- 2:14at
- 2:14all,
- 2:14right?
- 2:15So
- 2:15when
- 2:15you
- 2:15see
- 2:16a
- 2:16crazy
- 2:16high
- 2:17ki
- 2:17level
- 2:17of
- 2:1810,000,
- 2:19that
- 2:19means
- 2:20your
- 2:21medication
- 2:21is
- 2:21not
- 2:22acting
- 2:22on
- 2:22that
- 2:22receptor
- 2:23at
- 2:23all
- 2:23or
- 2:23in
- 2:24an
- 2:24extremely
- 2:24weak,
- 2:25negligible
- 2:25way,
- 2:26versus
- 2:26a
- 2:26low
- 2:26Ki
- 2:27like
- 2:27one.
- 2:28And
- 2:28histamine
- 2:29and
- 2:29Remeron,
- 2:29where
- 2:29it's
- 2:30like,
- 2:30okay,
- 2:30this
- 2:31is
- 2:31what
- 2:31my
- 2:31medication
- 2:32is
- 2:32doing.
- 2:32It
- 2:33is
- 2:33principally
- 2:34causing
- 2:34sedation
- 2:35at
- 2:35that
- 2:35dose.
- 2:36So,
- 2:36so
- 2:37a
- 2:37high
- 2:37affinity
- 2:38will
- 2:38be
- 2:38a
- 2:39low
- 2:39ki,
- 2:39like
- 2:401
- 2:40or
- 2:402
- 2:41or
- 2:413

- 2:414.
- 2:42That
- 2:42means
- 2:43that
- 2:43your
- 2:43medication
- 2:44is
- 2:44going
- 2:45to
- 2:45be
- 2:45a
- 2:45very
- 2:45strong
- 2:46magnet
- 2:46to
- 2:46that
- 2:47receptor.
- 2:48In
- 2:48this
- 2:48case
- 2:48Remeron
- 2:49and
- 2:49histamine.
- 2:50Very
- 2:50interesting,
- 2:51right?
- 2:51So
- 2:51a
- 2:51low
- 2:52ki
- 2:52is
- 2:52like
- 2:52a
- 2:53Velcro
- 2:53grip
- 2:54and
- 2:54a
- 2:54high
- 2:54ki
- 2:55is
- 2:55more
- 2:55like
- 2:55a
- 2:56post
- 2:56it
- 2:56note.
- 2:57It
- 2:57doesn't
- 2:57stick
- 2:57on
- 2:58there
- 2:58very
- 2:58well.
- 2:59Well,
- 2:59that

- 3:04and
- 3:04what
- 3:04receptors
- 3:05they
- 3:06activate
- 3:06or
- 3:07antagonize
- 3:08at

- 3:12Highest
- 3:13affinity
- 3:13receptors,
- 3:14usually
- 3:14at
- 3:15low
- 3:15doses,
- 3:15tend
- 3:16to
- 3:16get
- 3:16activated
- 3:17first.
- 3:17That's
- 3:18why
- 3:18Remeron,
- 3:18with
- 3:19its
- 3:19very
- 3:19high
- 3:19affinity
- 3:20or

- 3:29it's
- 3:29not
- 3:29all
- 3:30that
- 3:30Remeron
- 3:31does.
- 3:32Remeron
- 3:33has
- 3:33an
- 3:33effect
- 3:34on
- 3:34multiple
- 3:36receptors.
- 3:37It's
- 3:37an
- 3:37Alpha
- 3:382
- 3:38antagonist.
- 3:39It
- 3:40is

- 4:53low
- 4:53affinity.
- 4:54I
- 4:55want
- 4:55you
- 4:55to
- 4:55think
- 4:55of
- 4:56high
- 4:56affinity
- 4:57medications
- 4:58like
- 4:58snow
- 4:59that's

- 5:00winter.
- 5:00It
- 5:01doesn't
- 5:01take
- 5:01a
- 5:01lot,
- 5:01it
- 5:02just
- 5:02immediately
- 5:02sticks.
- 5:03It
- 5:03doesn't
- 5:03have
- 5:03to
- 5:03snow
- 5:04a
- 5:04lot
- 5:04and
- 5:04your
- 5:05sidewalk
- 5:05is
- 5:05already
- 5:06gently
- 5:06covered
- 5:07and
- 5:07stuck
- 5:07with
- 5:08snow.
- 5:08That
- 5:08would
- 5:09be
- 5:09like
- 5:09a
- 5:09high
- 5:09affinity
- 5:10medication
- 5:11with
- 5:11a
- 5:11low
- 5:11ki
- 5:12or
- 5:12inhibition
- 5:13constant.
- 5:13That
- 5:13would
- 5:13be
- 5:14Remeron
- 5:14and
- 5:14histamine.
- 5:15The
- 5:16snow
- 5:16is
- 5:17laying
- 5:18it
- 5:18on
- 5:18thick,
- 5:19right?
- 5:19It's
- 5:20Just
- 5:20that
- 5:20even
- 5:21though
- 5:21it
- 5:21just
- 5:21started
- 5:21snowing,
- 5:22it's

- 5:24your
- 5:24sidewalk.
- 5:25That's
- 5:25high
- 5:25affinity.
- 5:26But
- 5:27a
- 5:27weak
- 5:28affinity,
- 5:28that
- 5:29would
- 5:29be,
- 5:29let's
- 5:29say,

- 14:01It's

- 14:11You

- 14:12Because
- 14:12if
- 14:12your

- 14:22So

- 14:25That's

- 14:25analogy
- 14:26with
- 14:26some
- 14:26medications
- 14:27like

- 14:28Right.
- 14:28Seroquel

- 14:30It

- 14:34Where
- 14:36it
- 14:36hits
- 14:36the

- 14:37it
- 14:37kind
- 14:37of
- 14:38blocks
- 14:38the
- 14:38dopamine
- 14:38receptor,
- 14:39and
- 14:39then
- 14:39it
- 14:39kind
- 14:39of
- 14:39melts
- 14:39off.
- 14:40It's

- 14:40snow
- 14:40that
- 14:41melts
- 14:41off
- 14:41the

- 14:42You
- 14:42have
- 14:42to
- 14:42keep
- 14:43raising
- 14:43the
- 14:43dose,
- 14:43allowing
- 14:44it
- 14:44to
- 14:44snow
- 14:44more
- 14:45for
- 14:45the

- 14:45to
- 14:45accumulate
- 14:46on
- 14:46the

- 14:47AKA
- 14:48allowing
- 14:49enough
- 14:49D2
- 14:50blockade
- 14:50to
- 14:50exert
- 14:51a
- 14:51antipsychotic
- 14:52or
- 14:53antimanic
- 14:53effect.
- 14:54That's
- 14:54why
- 14:54Seroquel
- 14:55at
- 14:55low
- 14:56doses
- 14:56is
- 14:56really
- 14:57just
- 14:57hitting
- 14:57histamine.
- 14:58It's
- 14:58making
- 14:58you
- 14:59sedated
- 15:00and
- 15:00tired.
- 15:00And
- 15:00just

- 15:06So
- 15:07the
- 15:07affinity
- 15:07for
- 15:08dopamine
- 15:09D2
- 15:09is
- 15:10a

- 15:12Let's

- 15:12Haldol's
- 15:13affinity
- 15:14for
- 15:14D2,
- 15:14right?
- 15:15So
- 15:15you
- 15:15can
- 15:15go
- 15:15in
- 15:15there.
- 15:15Haldol's
- 15:16like
- 15:16that

- 15:23But
- 15:23Seroquel
- 15:24goes

- 15:24there
- 15:24and
- 15:25it
