Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the clinical response and safety of mirtazapine in the pediatric population with a diagnosis of functional nausea and nausea associated with functional dyspepsia postprandial distress syndrome. METHODS This was a retrospective chart review to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mirtazapine for pediatric nausea and nausea associated with functional dyspepsia postprandial distress syndrome. Clinical response was classified as complete response, partial response, and no response. We also identified the prescribed doses, side effects, and weight changes during mirtazapine therapy. RESULTS Among the 57 total patients, 67% were females and ages ranged from 7 to 19 years with a mean of 14 ± 3 years. Clinical (complete and partial) response was reported in 82% of patients. Nausea resolved in 82% and insomnia in 77% of the patients. Eighty-four percent gained weight with a mean of 4 ± 7 kg. Sixty-five percent did not report adverse effects. The most common adverse effects were undesired weight gain (16%) and dysphoria (9%). Two patients discontinued the medicine after the first dose because of adverse effects. There was a significant correlation between the initial dose and weight (rs = 0.478; p = 0.0002). The median initial and final doses were 15 mg, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Mirtazapine is an option for treating children and adolescents with functional nausea and nausea associated with functional dyspepsia post-prandial distress syndrome, especially for a select group of patients with concurrent weight loss, anxiety, and insomnia.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES It is known that antidepressant drugs can induce sleep disorders in patients, but little data exist about high or low-risk molecules. The aim was to study the frequency of antidepressant drugs-induced sleep disorders (DISD) by molecule. METHODS 77,391 patient comments for 32 antidepressant drugs were collected from drug review websites and screened for DISD. Association between drugs and nightmare disorder, restless legs syndrome, sleep paralysis, sleep terrors, sleep-related hallucinations or sleep walking was expressed as relative proportion [proportional reporting ratio (PRR)]. A detailed analysis of the dreams content was also carried out. RESULTS Amitriptyline, doxepin, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine, nortriptyline, trazodone, venlafaxine and vilazodone were associated with a greater frequency of DISD compared to other antidepressants. Vilazodone heavily increased the probability of developing 5 of the 6 studied DISD (PRR 3.3 to 19.3) and mirtazapine increased the probability for developing 4 DISD (PRR 2.4 to 6.4). Bupropion and citalopram were associated with lower probabilities for 5 DISD (PRR 0.2 to 0.7). Sentiment analysis showed that patients described disturbing dreams for vilazodone or mirtazapine and strange but less negative dreams for bupropion, citalopram or duloxetine. CONCLUSIONS Relative frequencies of sleep disorders were obtained for a vast panel of antidepressant drugs through an original analysis of user's drug reviews on drug rating websites. Our results could guide clinicians in appropriate choice of antidepressant drug for high DISD-risk patients in need of such treatment. These results may however be cautiously taken, considering the uncertain reliability and generalisability of web-based data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a disabling disorder of gut-brain interaction manifested by stereotypical and severe episodes of nausea and vomiting. Prevalence data indicate that CVS affects 1-2% of children and there has been a recent dramatic rise in diagnosed adults. METHODS This narrative review summarizes relevant literature pertaining to pediatric and adult CVS and provides a guide to management based on extensive clinical experience. RESULTS More timely diagnosis is facilitated by an expert consensus diagnostic approach and limited testing. Some diagnostic tests of exclusion remain essential. These include an upper gastrointestinal (GI) contrast study to exclude intestinal malrotation and basic laboratory screening. An abdominal ultrasound is recommended to exclude renal hydronephrosis in children and biliary disease in adults. Exclusion of metabolic/genetic conditions is warranted in those with specific warning signs, presentation in infants/toddler age, and in those with refractory disease. In the absence of chronic GI symptoms, referral to a GI specialist for upper endoscopy is generally not necessary in children but recommended in adults. A large subset termed migraine-equivalent CVS display strong clinical and genetic features of migraine. A unifying pathophysiologic core concept involves neuronal hyperexcitability and aberrant central modulation of autonomic signals. This is coupled with multiple susceptibility factors including mitochondrial dysfunction/cellular energy deficits, a hyper-responsive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and many comorbidities that increase vulnerability to triggering events. CVS episodes are frequently triggered by stressors and intercurrent illnesses. Lifestyle and non-pharmacological interventions thus play a pivotal role in successful management. Pharmacological therapies are categorized into abortive, supportive/rescue, and prophylactic treatments. The majority respond particularly well to migraine-focused treatment strategies. CONCLUSION Despite improved characterization and understanding, CVS remains classified as a functional disorder of brain-gut interaction that is often disjointly managed by generalists and subspecialists. Early recognition, evaluation, and management will facilitate care and improve outcomes. Further research into its natural history with common progression to migraine headaches, neuroendocrine mechanisms, and the pathophysiologic relation to migraine diathesis is much needed.

Beyond Amitriptyline: A Pediatric and Adolescent Oriented Narrative Review of the Analgesic Properties of Psychotropic Medications for the Treatment of Complex Pain and Headache Disorders.

Abstract
Children and adolescents with recurrent or chronic pain and headache are a complex and heterogenous population. Patients are best served by multi-specialty, multidisciplinary teams to assess and create tailored, individualized pain treatment and rehabilitation plans. Due to the complex nature of pain, generalizing pharmacologic treatment recommendations in children with recurrent or chronic pains is challenging. This is particularly true of complicated patients with co-existing painful and psychiatric conditions. There is an unfortunate dearth of evidence to support many pharmacologic therapies to treat children with chronic pain and headache. This narrative review hopes to supplement the available treatment options for this complex population by reviewing the pediatric and adult literature for analgesic properties of medications that also have psychiatric indication. The medications reviewed belong to medication classes typically described as antidepressants, alpha 2 delta ligands, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, anti-sympathetic agents, and stimulants.

Abstract
The origins of the major classes of current anti-emetics are examined. Serendipity is a recurrent theme in discovery of their anti-emetic properties and repurposing from one indication to another is a continuing trend. Notably, the discoveries have occurred against a background of company mergers and changing anti-emetic requirements. Major drug classes include: (i) Muscarinic receptor antagonists-originated from historical accounts of plant extracts containing atropine and hyoscine with development stimulated by the need to prevent sea-sickness among soldiers during beach landings; (ii) Histamine receptor antagonists-searching for replacements for the anti-malaria drug quinine, in short supply because of wartime shipping blockade, facilitated the discovery of histamine (H1) antagonists (e.g., dimenhydrinate), followed by serendipitous discovery of anti-emetic activity against motion sickness in a patient undergoing treatment for urticaria; (iii) Phenothiazines and dopamine receptor antagonists-investigations of their pharmacology as "sedatives" (e.g., chlorpromazine) implicated dopamine receptors in emesis, leading to development of selective dopamine (D2) receptor antagonists (e.g., domperidone with poor ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier) as anti-emetics in chemotherapy and surgery; (iv) Metoclopramide and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine3(5-HT3) receptor antagonists-metoclopramide was initially assumed to act only via D2 receptor antagonism but subsequently its gastric motility stimulant effect (proposed to contribute to the anti-emetic action) was shown to be due to 5-hydroxytryptamine4 receptor agonism. Pre-clinical studies showed that anti-emetic efficacy against the newly-introduced, highly emetic, chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin was due to antagonism at 5-HT3 receptors. The latter led to identification of selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (e.g., granisetron), a major breakthrough in treatment of chemotherapy-induced emesis; (v) Neurokinin1receptor antagonists-antagonists of the actions of substance P were developed as analgesics but pre-clinical studies identified broad-spectrum anti-emetic effects; clinical studies showed particular efficacy in the delayed phase of chemotherapy-induced emesis. Finally, the repurposing of different drugs for treatment of nausea and vomiting is examined, particularly during palliative care, and also the challenges in identifying novel anti-emetic drugs, particularly for treatment of nausea as compared to vomiting. We consider the lessons from the past for the future and ask why there has not been a major breakthrough in the last 20 years.

Abstract
Patients with functional GI disorders (FGIDs) are commonplace in the gastroenterologist's practice. A number of these patients may be refractory to peripherally acting agents, yet respond to central neuromodulators. There are benefits and potential adverse effects to using TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antipsychotics, and miscellaneous central neuromodulators in these patients. These agents can benefit mood, pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, sleep, and depression. The mechanisms by which they work, the differences between classes and individual agents, and the various adverse effects are outlined. Dosing, augmentation strategies, and treatment scenarios specifically for painful FGIDs, FD with PDS, and chronic nausea and vomiting syndrome are outlined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of psychotropic medications, particularly antidepressants, is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in spite of a lack of their robust efficacy in this population. This review provides an overview of the use trends of different classes of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication and their effects on mood, nervous system function, gastrointestinal physiology and immunity drawing from the literature available in the general population, other medical conditions, and when available, patients with IBD. It also covers the evidence base for the actions, efficacy, and potential complications of antidepressants organized by different classes. METHODS We conducted a PubMed search of articles relating the different drug classes probed to the terms above in different populations of interest. All types of articles were accepted including case reports and series, open and randomized trials, reviews, and expert opinion. We also examined the reference lists of the publications found. RESULTS Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are the most commonly prescribed agents for anxiety and depression in patients with IBD, though their efficacy for these conditions in the general population are mild to moderate at best. SSRIs are generally well tolerated, though at higher doses, they, like most antidepressant classes, can be associated with activation, serotonergic syndrome, and increased suicidal ideation. TCAs have many more serious side effects but have some shown efficacy for functional GI symptoms. A newer class, the serotonin noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), can be effective for refractory depression, anxiety and chronic pain syndromes with a side effect profile similar to both SSRIs and more mild manifestations of TCAs. Mirtazapine has moderate efficacy for depression if sedation and weight gain side effects are tolerated and some small support for use in nausea and vomiting. Bupropion targets dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake and has moderate efficacy for depression, and some small support for use in fatigue and smoking cessation. Buspirone has an indication for generalized anxiety disorder though studies show only a minimal benefit. It has some growing evidence for use in functional dyspepsia. Most of these agents have physiological effects on the brain, immune system, and gastrointestinal tract (with the exception of bupropion) hence their therapeutic and side effects manifested in these systems. CONCLUSION Antidepressant medications are frequently prescribed for depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain syndromes, but overall support for their efficacy is modest at best. Psychological interventions have growing support for having much more robust effects without the side effects of antidepressants and should be considered first-line treatment or at least an adjunct to psychotropic medications for these conditions.

Abstract
We describe the use of psychotropic medications in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in children based on available data. We address their safety and efficacy. Most pediatric gastroenterologists do not or are not able to collaborate with child psychiatrists, so it may be beneficial for pediatric gastroenterologists to have a working knowledge of off-label psychotropic drugs to improve functional symptoms. We recommend that efforts be made to involve both the children and their families from the beginning, adverse effects be mentioned, and the treatment plan be explained.

Abstract
This study evaluated the relationship among nausea, anxiety, and orthostatic symptoms in pediatric patients with chronic unexplained nausea. We enrolled 48 patients (36 females) aged 15 ± 2 years. Patients completed the Nausea Profile, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and underwent 70° head upright tilt testing (HUT) to assess for orthostatic intolerance (OI) and measure heart rate variability (HRV). We found nausea to be significantly associated with trait anxiety, including total nausea score (r = 0.71, p < 0.01) and 3 subscales: somatic (r = 0.64, p < 0.01), gastrointestinal (r = 0.48, p = 0.01), and emotional (r = 0.74, p < 0.01). Nausea was positively associated with state anxiety, total nausea (r = 0.55, p < 0.01), somatic (r = 0.48, p < .01), gastrointestinal (r = .30, p < .05), and emotional (r = .64, p < .01) subscales. Within 10 min of HUT, 27 patients tested normal and 21 demonstrated OI. After 45 min of HUT, only 13 patients (27%) remained normal. Nausea reported on the Nausea Profile before HUT was associated with OI measured at 10 min of tilt (nausea total r = 0.35, p < 0.05; nausea emotional subscale r = 0.40, p < 0.01) and lower HRV at 10 min of HUT (F = 6.39, p = 0.01). We conclude that nausea is associated with both anxiety symptoms and OI. The finding of decreased HRV suggests an underlying problem in autonomic nervous system function in children and adolescents with chronic unexplained nausea.
