Depression/Anxiety Flashcards
precursor to NE
tyrosine
NE synthesis steps (4)
tyrosine, L-DOPA, DA, NE
NE location in brain
locus ceruleus
5HT role
arousal, sleep-wake cycle, mood, motivaton
5HT location in brain
raphe nuclei
5HT precursor
tryptophan
which 5HT receptor is on the presynaptic terminal
1D
4 MAO-I
Phenelzine
tranylcypromine
isocarboxazid
selegiline
MOA of MAO-I
decrease MAO activity in neruons and liver
in neurons: inc. NE concentration
in liver: inc. tyramine from foods in circulation
increase NE and 5HT transmission in CNS
Antidepressants (6)
MAO-I TCA SSRI SNRI Serotonin Modulators Atypical antipsychotics
ADE for MAO-I (4)
Orthostatic hypotension
CNS stimulation
Weight gain
sexual dysfunction
TCA MOA
block uptake of amines by nerve terminals
inhibit NE and 5HT transporters
TCA drugs (5)
Amitriptyline Imipramine clomipramine protriptyline doxepin
TCA ADE
anti-ach sedation weight gain orthostatic hypotension lowered seizure threshold qt prolongation
Combine TCA and MAO-I
NO, risk of hypertensive crisis
cause tons of NE in synapse
SSRI drugs (5)
fluoxetine sertraline paroxetine citalopram escitalopram
SSRI MOA
selective inhibition of serotonin transporters
SSRI ADE
insomnia
dizziness
sexual dysfunction
GI: n/v/d
Serotonin Syndrome treatment
supportive
sedation: BDZ
cyproheptidine
Serotonin Syndrome symptoms
ataxia myoclonus confusion hypomania agitation restlessness fever chills sweating diarrhea HTN tachycardia
Withdrawal from SSRI symptoms
flu-like light-headedness restlessness sleep and sensory disturbances headache
SNRI drugs (5)
Duloxetine venlafaxine desvenlafaxine levomilnacipran milnacipran
serotonin modulators drugs (3)
trazodone
Vilazodone
Vortioxetine
Trazodone MOA
weak 5HT uptake inhibitor
5HT2A and 5HT2C antagonist
H1 antagonist: sedation
