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
