  • Front
  • Back
classic Tricyclic Antidepressant used in treatment of enuresis. a prototype tricyclic antidepressant
Imipramine (TOFRANIL, JANIMINE)
a mood stabilizer that inhibits regeneration of Inositol(pnt suffering from clinical depression generally have decreased levels of inositol in cerebrospinal fluid) (notorious for drug interactions)
*Lithium (treatment of manic depressive (bipolar) disorders is becoming common)
difficult to distinguish between alcohol intoxication and intoxication with this drug. to treat intox: sympt support, hemodialysis, induce diuresis
*Lithium
list some toxic effects of *Lithium a Ginger Jensen's drug of choice
hypothyroidism
polydipsia and polyuria
kidney damage-nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
weight gain, derm, teratogenic
Second generation antidepressants to treat general anxiety disorder. Less cardiovascular SE. A mild stimulant->"energizes" depressed individuals, treatment of ADHD in children
Venlafaxine (EFFEXOR) and Desvenlafaxine (PRISTIQ)
Second generation antidepressant useful in pnts with high levels of anxiety. novel mechanism of action: blocks presynaptic alpha-2 adrenergic receptors
Mirtazepine (REMERON)
the only MAO(Monoamine oxidase) Inhibitor (P.E.T.)that contains a hydriazide group that can form a covalent bond with MAO
Phenelzine (NARDIL). After the rx has been used it takes several weeks for new MAO to be synthesized
a newer Second generation antidepressant that resembles Venlafaxine (EFFEXOR)
Duloxetine (CYMBALTA)
Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor approved for treatment of ADHD in children and adults. SE: suppression of appetite, decreased weight gain, increased BP->HTN!!!, tachycardia, sexual dysfunction in adult dudes
Atomoxetime (STRATTERA)
Second generation antidepressant used for treatment of cocaine, nicotine and amphetamine dependence. less likely to produce seizures
Bupropion (WELLBUTRIN)
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI)with much less sedation, anticholinergic and cardiovascular effects than tryciclics; metabolized in liver and metabolites are active unlike paroxetine (PAXIL)(potential drug interactions)
Fluoxetine (PROZAC)
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) for treatment of OCB (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
Fluvoxamine (LUVOX)
MAO(Monoamine oxidase) Inhibitor available in patch preparations. MAO-B inhibitor (MAO-B metabolizes preferentially DA )
Eldepryl (EMSAM)
classic (Tricyclic) Antidepressant with the worst anticholinergic SE(worst dry mouth, constipation, urine retention, loss of visual accommodation, etc), most powerful sedation and CV effects of all tricyclic
Amitriptyline (ELAVIL)
Mood stabilizer. Caution in pnts with impaired renal function
Lithium carbonate (ESKALITH & others) therapeutic 0.8-1.4
toxic above 2.0 mEq/l
4-5 days to reach steady state plasma concentration
Mood stabilizer, anti-epileptic. Treatment of manic depressive (bipolar) disorders is becoming common
Valproic Acid Analogs (DEPAKENE/DEPAKOTE)
newest Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI)for treatment of Affective disorders
Escitalopram (LEXAPRO)
Mood Stabilizer, anti-epileptic. Treatment of manic depressive (bipolar) disorders is becoming common
Carbamazepine (TEGRETOL)
Mood Stabilizer, anti-epileptic. Treatment of manic depressive (bipolar) disorders is becoming common
Clonazepam (KLONOPIN)
Second generation antidepressant that is very sedating, thus used as a night time drug in depressed pnts
Trazadone (DESYREL)
Second generation antidepressant, similar to Trazadone (DESYREL)
Nefazodone (SERZONE)
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that is metabolized rapidly (T1/2 10 hrs vs 2-3days for fluoxetine(PROZAC)
Paroxetine (PAXIL)
does not form active metabolites. 5HT reuptake inhibitor like Sertraline (ZOLOFT) and Fluvoxamine (LUVOX)
normalize sleep patterns
MAO(Monoamine oxidase) inhibitors: phenelzine (NARDIL), tranylcypromine (PARNATE), selegine & eldepryl (EMSAM),
hypertension caused by interaction with tyramine (cheese toxicity)
MAO(Monoamine oxidase) inhibitors: phenelzine (NARDIL), tranylcypromine (PARNATE), eldepryl (EMSAM)
a useful alternative to stimulants to treat attention deficit disorders in children, a second generation antidepressant that "energizes" depressed individuals, fewer CV effects
Venlafaxine (EFFEXOR)
the only second generation that changes receptor density with chronic use (also a strong reuptake inhibitor of DA). a stimulant activity of a "psychic energizer". treatment of cocaine, amphetamine and nicotine dependence
Bupropion (WELLBUTRIN)
in OD with tricyclic antidepressants (Imipramine and Amitriptyline)
Na2HCO3 Sodium bicarb
make sure tryciclics are cleared before switching to a new antidepressant
2-4 weeks

btw: weight gain is more common with tricyclics
SSRI's have the least anticholinergic effect
Fluoxetine (PROZAC), Fluvoxamine (LUVOX), Sertraline (ZOLOFT), Paroxetine (PAXIL), Citalopram (CELEXA), Escitalopram (LEXAPRO)
serotonin syndrome is characterized by:
tremors hypertension, hyperpyrexia and seizures
MAO -A
MAO-B
-preferentially metabolizes NE & 5HT
- -//- DA
MOA inhibitors: (P.E.T.) Phenelzine, Eldepryl, Tranylcypromine - all have potentially lethal interactions with tyramine (present in foods) except...
Eldepryl (EMSAM)- selective MAO-B inhibitor, patch preparations
like with switching from tricyclic to any other drug, switching from MAO inhibitor to tricyclic wait for...
3-4 weeks
bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress syndrome, narcolepsy treated with
MAO inhibitors (P.E.T.) Phenelzine, Eldepryl, Tranylcypromine
