(TAAR1). The activation of TAAR1 increases cAMP and inhibits serotonin,
dopamine, and norepinephrine transporters. Inhibiting monoamine transporters
causes catecholamine reuptake and metabolism. - Answer: Methamphetamine.

A 65-year-old woman visits the clinic to request a re-prescription for her pain
medication. She was involved in a motor vehicle collision (MVC) eight months
ago, which resulted in persistent neuralgia in both arms as well as low back pain.
She was prescribed oxycodone/acetaminophen 7.5/325 mg every 6 hours. Her last
planned refill was 20 days ago, for a 30-day supply. She returns early, stating that
she needs many tablets sooner than prescribed due to unmanageable agony. Her
current vital signs are OK, however, she is diaphoretic, teary, restless, and
occasionally yawning. When the provider explains that controlled medications
cannot be prescribed in this way, the patient responds, "You don't understand. I
,need to feel normal. Without it, I feel worse than I used to feel at baseline. Please!"
What stage of addiction is the patient in, and what medication can help her
symptoms?
Choices:
1. Tolerance and Acamprosate
2. Tolerance - ANSWER Dependence and Methadone
