Not optically active
Paroxetine, Fluvoxamine

*GI upset that titrates out, sexual dysfxn, HA, insomnia.
**5-HT2agonism → Agitation, Akathisia, Anxiety (low doses actually treats), Panicattacks, Insomnia, Sexual dysfxn.
**5-HT3agonism → GI effects (n/d), HA. Nausea>take with food.

...weight gain, increased suicidal thoughts
Risk of DC syndrome worst
Sertraline, Paroxetine due to short T1/2
Strong 2D6 inhibitors
Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline (less..dose dependent)
3A4 Inhibitors
Fluvoxamine (potent), Fluoxetine, Sertraline (weak)
Paroxetine
highest wt gain, anti-cholinergic SE.
most serotonin specific and activating.
Fluvoxamine
rarely used due to 3A4 inhibition
Sertraline
requires higher dose for anxiety than depression
Fluoxetine- T1/2 & significance
longest T1/2 so low withdrawal & 5HT syndrome risk, has active metabolite with longer t1/2.
no affinity for ACh, a1, H1.
DC 4 weeks from MAOI (as opposed to 2).
VERY strong SERT inhibitor.

Brand> Generic


* Citalopram


* Escitalopram


* Fluoxetine


* Paroxetine


* Sertraline


* Fluvoxamine



* Celexa


* Lexapro


* Prozac


* Paxil


* Zoloft


* Luvox

SSRIs MOA

Primarily just blocks serotonin reuptake

1st line use, onset, why prefer use over others, consult

* Similar to TCAs, but more favorable SE profile


* Onsetof 3-8 wks


* Less risk of suicide, b/c overdose causes vomiting → less lethal in overdose


* Take with full glass of water to prevent heartburn from pill staying in esophagus


* Ask about suicidal (or ‘dark’) thoughts

Serotonin Syndrome

*Usually due to excess serotonin due to DDI.


* MentalStatus Changes,


Myoclonus/Hyperreflexia/Tremor - greater in lower extremities,


Diaphoresis,Diarrhea, Incoordination

Serotonin Discontinuation Syndrome

* Must taper SSRIs with short t1/2 or no active metabolites (paroxetine esp).


* Sxs:vivid dreams/nightmares, tremors, nausea, dizziness, disorientation.




Note: can occur with any class of antidepressants

Only one with no active metabolite, and very short t1/2

Paxil

Paxil admin & use

d/t short 1/2 & no metabolite.... must taper.


Avoid in hypersomnia d/t lots sedation.

Most GI upset of the SSRIs also inhibitor of 2D6/3A4

Zoloft


... luvox also have significant GI se

Least protein binding > good for warfarin pt

Celexa


...note... Lexapro not highly protein bound & Zoloft high protein binding

Lexapro vs Celexa

100x more potent.


Less SEs.


Negligible cyp interactions, Celexa is weak 2D6 inhibitor.

Similar AE profile

Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline.


Light sedation (common to all SSRI) & wt gain.


Paxil- most wt gain & some anticholinergic SE.


Others have minimal wt gain issue or cholinergic.

OCD - only labeled indication

luvox
