block ACh and histamine receptors
Isocarboxazid (Marplan)
Monamine Oxidase inhibitor - the enzyme that breaks down all the neurotransmitters 5-HT, NE, Epi, DA
Phenelzine (Nardil)
Monamine Oxidase inhibitor - the enzyme that breaks down all the neurotransmitters 5-HT, NE, Epi, DA
Tranylcypromine (Parnate)
Monamine Oxidase inhibitor - the enzyme that breaks down all the neurotransmitters 5-HT, NE, Epi, DA
Mirtazapine (Remeron)
