serotonin syndrome if combined with MAO inhibitor
which opioid should be avoided with SSRIs or MAOIs
meperidine
MAOIs
phenelzine
selegiline
a2-antagonist as well as 5-HT agonist

increased ICP
differentiate furosemide and ethacrynic acid
furosemide is a sulfonamide loop diruretic

amiloride - same
differentiate Urinary Ca in loop vs. thiazide diuretics
loop - increased urinary Ca
thiazide - decreased urinary Ca
