  • Front
  • Back
Fluoxetine
SSRI

Longest half life so don't need taper
Safe in preg and children
Can elevate levels neuroleptics
Sertraline
SSRI

Highest risk for GI probs (S=Stomach)
Few drug interactions
Paroxetine
SSRI

Highly protein bound (drug interactions)
Short half life=withdrawal sx
More anticholinergic effects
Fluvoxamine
SSRI

Good for OCD too
Lots drug interactions
N/V
Citalopram
SSRI

Fewest drug interactions
Escitalopram
SSRI

Levo-enantiomer of citalopram with fewer SEs
More expensive than citalopram
Side effects SSRIs
Sex dysfunciton (anorgasmia, dec libido, delayed ejaculation) (can augment with buproprion, sildenafil, or switch antidepressant)
Anorexia
HA, GI
Restless

(Less SEs than TCA/MAOI b/c don't act on histamine adrenergic or muscarinic receptors)
Venlafaxine
SNRI

Depression, GAD, ADHD
Can increase BP, otherwise SEs like SSRIs
Desvenlafaxine is the active metabolite and is expensive
Duloxetine
SNRI

Depression + NEUROPATHIC PAIN or fibromyalgia
More dry mouth constipation (NE effects) but otherwise similar to SSRI (liver effects if bad liver)
Buproprion
NDRI

Lack of sexual SEs as compared to SSRI
Lowers seizure threshold and can precipitate psychosis
CI in epilepsy, active eating ds, or on MAOI
Trazodone
SARI/Serotonin receptor antagonist and agonist

Refractory dep + insomnia
Not much sexual SEs
Sedation + priapism
Nefazadone
SARI/Serotonin receptor antagonist and agonist

Refractory dep + insomnia
Not much sexual SEs
Sedation + priapism
Mirtazepine
Alpha adrenergic antagonist

Refractory dep
SE: sedation, weight gain
No sex SEs, few interactions
Good for elderly
Treat TCA overdose
IV sodium bicarbonate
Amitriptyline
TCA - 3*

Good for dep, migraines, chronic pain, insomnia
Imipramine
TCA - 3*

Good for enuresis and panic disorder
IM form too
Clomipramine
TCA - 3*

Most serotonin spec.
Good for OCD
Doxepin
TCA - 3*

Good for chronic pain
Nortriptyline
TCA - 2*

Least orthostatic hypotension,
Treat chronic pain
Desipramine
TCA - 2*

Least activating/sedating/anticholinergic
Tertiary vs Secondary TCAs
3* are highly anticholinergic (more sedating, more lethal)
ACID=amitriptyline, clomipramine, imipramine, doxepin

2* are metabolites of 3* and are less anticholinergic
Nortryptiline, Desipramine
Amoxapine
Tetracyclic antidep

Metabolite of antipsychotic loxapine, may have EPS like typical antipsychiotics
Maprotiline
Tetracyclic antidep

Seizure, arrhythmia, fatal OD
Major complications of TCA
Cardiotox, Convulsions, Coma

Anti-HAM
Histamine: sedation
Adrenergic: CV SEs like orthostatic hypo, arrhythmia, widen QRS/QT/PR intervals, DON'T give to people with recent MI or Cardio probs
Muscarinic: drymouth, constipation urinary retention, blurred vision, tachycardia, exacerbate glaucoma
Phenelzine
