Algorithm for selecting an antidepressant
Recommendations with anxious distress
- Use antidepressant with efficacy in GAD (level 4)
(No differences in efficacy between SSRIs, SNRIs, and buproprion (level 2))
Recommendations with catatonic features
- Benzodiazepines (level 3)
- No antidepressants have been studied
Recommendations with melancholic features
- No specific antidepressants have demonstrated superiority (level 2)
- TCA and SNRI have been studied
Recommendations with atypical features
- No specific antidepressants have demonstrated superiority (level 2)
- Older studies have found MAO inhibitors superior to TCAs
Recommendations with psychotic features
- Use antipsychotic and antidepressant cotreatment (level 1)
- Few studies involved atypical antipsychotics
Recommendations with mixed features
- Lurasidone (level 2)
- Ziprasidone (level 3)
- No comparative studies
Recommendations with seasonal pattern
- No specific antidepressants have demonstrated superiority (level 2 and 3)
- SSRIs, agomelatine, bupropion and moclobemide have been studied
Recommendations with cognitive dysfunction
- Vortioxetine (level 1)
- Buproprion (level 2)
- Duloxetine (level 2)
- SSRI (level 2)
- Moclobemide (level 3)
- Limited data available on cognitive effects of other antidepressants and on comparative differences in efficacy
Recommendations with sleep disturbances
- Agomelatine (level 1)
- Mirtazapine (level 2)
- Quetiapine (level 2)
- Trazodone (level 2)
- Beneficial effects on sleep must be balanced against potential for side effects (e.g. daytime sedation)
Recommendations with somatic symptoms
- Duloxetine (pain) (level 1)
- Other SNRI (pain) (level 2)
- Bupropion (fatigue) (Level 1)
- SSRI (fatigue) (level 2)
- Duloxetime (energy) (level 2)
- Few comparative antidepressant studies for pain or other somatic symptoms
