Anti-Depressants and Mood Stblz Flashcards
major concern with St john’s wart
CYP inducer
resistance mechs for anti-depressants
inc ACB1 cassetes = MDR1 and P-gp
anti-depressants that are substrates for MDR1
citalopram, venlafaxine, paroxetine, amitriptyline
AMI’s PARrott VENtures into the CITy to get out of the CNS
anti-depressants that are non-substrate for MDR1
mirtazapine and fluoxtine
gold std for treatment resistant MDD
TCAs: amitriptylin, Imipramine, Nortriyline
first line treatment for MDD
SSRIs: citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine
when are MAOIs used to treat MDD
unresponsive to SSRIs, TCS, and ECT
treatment choices for bipolar disorder
lithium is higher efficacy but valproate and carbamazapine have inc response
MOA amoxamine
?
MOA maprotilline
SNRI
MOA mirtazepine
a2 antagonist + inc release of 5HT and NE
MOA Trazodone and Neftazodone
SSRI
MOA bupropion
metabolite is an SNRI and is a weak DA, 5HT, and NR blocker
MOA venlafaxine
SSRI, SNRI w/ NO anti-histamine, anti-Ach, and anti-adrenergic properties
most potent SNRI
duloxetine
metabolized by demethylation
TCAs: amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline
inactivated by acetylation
MAOIs: tranyclpromine
induces its own metabolism
carbamazapine
inhibits its own metabolism (UGT) to inc drug conc
valproate
block the action of clonidine
TCAs: amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline
interacts with alpha blockers and cause acute HTN reaction
MAOIs
do not use with diuretics or NASIDs
Lithium
SSRIs cannot be used concurrently with ___ for fear of inducing serotonin syndrome
MAOIs
displaces phenytoin from plasma proteins
valproate
may decrease efficacy of OCPs
carbamazapine
do not use this anti0depressants with ETOH or other sedatives
TCAs: amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline
CYP met of this drug leads to 10, 11 epoxide (active metabolite)
carbamazapine
**recall, induces its own metabolism
low therapeutic index
TCAs: amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline
symptoms pf TCA overdose
arrythmias, heart failure (worsen CHF)
may cause Parkinsonism
Amoxamine (DA antagonism)
ADE is that it increaseses monoamines which may cause restlessness, anxiety, and seziures
Buproion
ADE of small sustained HTN
venlafaxine
only is 50% bioavailable
Duloxetine
teratogens
SSRIs: Citalopram, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Fluvoxamine
Lithium
may cause rash
carbamazapine
formulated for weekly administration
Norfluoxetine (SSRI)
decreases libido
SSRIs
increases delerium and risk of death when taken with dectromehorphan or merperidine
MAOIs
Symptoms of SSRI overdose
hyperthermia, tremor, myoclonus, shivering, N/V
interacts with tyramine (in cheese)
MAOIs (tranylcypromine)
very narrow therapeutic window
lithium
ADEs of lithium
LMNOP Lithium side effects: Movement (tremor) -- give beta blockers Nephrogenic DI hypOthyroid Pregnamncy problems
irreversible enzyme inhibition is MOA
MAOIs
many cause acne + psoriasis
lithium
ADE of aplastic anemia
carbamazapine
may cause sick-sinus syndrome
lithium (brady and tachy cardia)
