Q

MAOI MOA

A

mitochondrial enzyme - MAO - metabolize monoamines to inactive metabolites

MAO-A - NE and 5-HT

cause accumulation of NE, 5-HT, DA in vesicles of nerve endings

Q

tyramineselegiline MOA

A

metabolized by MAO-A and MAO-B

with MAOI - can get accumulation - not goodselective irreversible MAO-B inhibitor (low dose

and nonselective MAO-A/B inhibitor - high dose (refractory depression)

SSRI

less cardiotoxic with OD
fewer antimuscarinic properties

47
Q

pt cannot tolerate sexual dysfunction

common combined with other antidepressants - augment therapeutic response

49

increased suicidality with all antidepressants

but untreated depression - even more risk of suicide

51
Q

adverse SSRIs

A

minor sedation and antimuscarinic

GI - N/V, upset stomach, constipation

diminished sexual function - loss libido, delayed organism

HA, insomnia, hypersomnia, weight gain

52

antiplatelet aggregation effect

more cardiac toxicity in OD as well

58
Q

wuth bupropion

64

no sexual side effects

A

mirtazapine and bupropion

65
Q

tyramine food

A

avoid if taking MAOIs

66
Q

overdose

A

TCA - most toxic - arrhythmia, altered mental status, seizure

also - MAOIs - potentially lethal - autonomic instability, hyperadrenergic symptoms, psychotic symptoms, confusion, delirium, fever, seizures

67
