  • Great but please stop using AI

    The podcast is a great quick knowledge refresher or a way to stay up to date. I’ve not listened for a while due to being on Mat Leave, but now the podcast is read by an AI voice and it is so difficult to listen to and actually understand due to the unnatural voice tone and breaks. Please go back to a human reading.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Glutamatergic Augmentation in OCD
Q: What lab monitoring does riluzole call for?
Monitor transaminases monthly for three months, then every three months for a year, and periodically afterward.
Glutamatergic Augmentation in OCD
Q: Which glutamatergic agent does Dr. Hudak now reach for first, and at what dose?
He favors memantine as an early augmentation choice outside clomipramine, using at least 20 mg daily and doses up to 40 mg.
SSRI Dosing for OCD: Beyond FDA Guidelines
Q: How do you decide among SSRIs and when to augment or switch?
All SSRIs are considered similarly efficacious for OCD, so the choice is guided by side effects, patient history, family responses, and individual tolerance, with augmentation generally avoided until after a full maximum-dose trial.
SSRI Dosing for OCD: Beyond FDA Guidelines
Q: What counts as a true therapeutic trial in OCD and how high should doses be pushed in practice?
A true therapeutic trial means using the SSRI at its maximum dose for a minimum of 12 to 16 weeks, and only then assessing response; this may exceed standard FDA guidelines but is supported by guidelines and evidence for OCD.
Gabapentin, Topiramate & Baclofen in AUD
Q: How should clinicians initiate and adjust Topiramate safely in AUD?
Start low and go slow, such as 25 mg twice daily, increasing by 25 mg per dose per week, monitoring for cognitive side effects and metallic taste, and stopping or lowering if intolerable adverse effects occur.
