1 Insomnia: Updates in Medical Management Michael Newnam M.D.

2 Sleep Neurobiology Delicate balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters that control the switch between wakefulness and sleep

6 Circadian Rhythm

7 Insomnia Dissatisfaction with quantity or quality of sleep causing daytime symptoms. (DSM-5) million chronic sleep/wake disorders More common in women 50% of elderly patients

8 National Health Interview Survey 62% of the adult population getting 7-8 hours of sleep 28% revealed sleeping less than 6 hours

9 Co-morbid conditions contributing to insomnia OSA RLS CVD DM Arthritis Chronic pain COPD Fibromyalgia Mood disorders

10 Treatment Goals To improve quantity and quality of sleep Improve daytime function

11 Factors to help guide treatment choices Symptom pattern Past treatment response Patient preference Costs Co-morbid conditions Contraindications Concurrent medications

12 Medications Benzodiazepines Benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZA s) Melatonin agonists Antidepressants (TCA s/heterocyclics) Orexin Receptor agonists Atypical Antipsychotics Antihistamines

13 Benzo s Short Acting: Triazolam (Halcion)- 2 hour Intermediate acting: Temazepam (Restoril)- 9 hour Estazolam (Prosom) Long Acting: Quazepam (Doral)- 39 hours Fluazepam (Dalmane)

14 Off Label Benzo s Alprazolam (Xanax)- 1/2 life of 6-11 hours Clonazepam (Klonopin)- 1/2 life of hours Lorazepam (Ativan)- 1/2 life hours Diazepam (Valium)- up to 40 hours

15 Evidence Grade B with good evidence of short term effectiveness (decreased sleep latency, sleep duration)

16 Adverse Effects Psychomotor retardation Memory impairments Tolerance/Dependence Decreased REM sleep

17 Tips on the Benzo s Would not choose them 1st line unless another comorbidity like anxiety or parasomnias Stay with longer acting agents if possible Caution with Elderly Caution with opioids

18 Bezodiazapine receptor agonists (Z drugs) GABA alpha1 subunit (more specific than the nonselective Benzo s that effect multiple sites) Zolpidem (Ambien) 5-10 mg or ER mg Eszopiclone (Lunesta) 1-3 mg Zaleplon (Sonata) mg

19 Z-hypnotics

20 Melatonin Supplemental melatonin at 1-10 mg Ramelteon (Rozerem) 8mg, Melatonin agonist, very short 1/2 life for sleep onset insomnia No effect on GABA

21 TCA s/heterocyclic s Doxepin (Silenor) 6-50 mg sleep maintenance insomnia, safe in the elderly, take on empty stomach

22 Off Label TCA/Heterocyclic s Trazodone mg, 5HT2A (serotonin) Blockade and H1 antagonism, anticholinergic side effects as you increase dose Mirtazapine (Remeron) mg, H1 receptor antagonist, weight gain Amitriptyline, Imipramine, Nortryptaline anticholinergic side effects, orthostatic hypotension, slow cardiac conduction

23 Orexin Receptor Agonist Suvorexant (Belsomra) mg 30 minutes before bed Not likely to cause dependence or tolerance Costly

24 Atypical Antipsychotics Quetiapine (Seroquel) mg Olanzapine (Zyprexa) 5-20 mg Risperidone (Risperdal).05-2 mg 5Ht2 (serotonin blocker) and H1 antagonist Metabolic Syndrome SE s (weight gain, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia)

25 Antihistamines Most OTC products use sedating antihistamines as the active ingredient (sominex, unisom, Zquil, PM products) Rapid tolerance, Residual drowsiness and anticholinergic side effects Lack evidence of efficacy Doxylamine (Unisom), Diphenhydramine (Zquil, sominex, Tylenol PM, Advil PM)

31 Summary Insomnia is a common disorder with multiple comorbidities Medical therapy targets neurotransmitters that regulate the sleep/wake cycle including histamine, serotonin, melatonin, orexin. Therapy should be individually tailored to the patient taking into consideration symptoms, comorbidities, costs and side effects. Adverse effects of sleep aids can include drowsiness, memory issues, anticholinergic effects, dependence, tolerance
