A

Typically QAM can be halved if SE are bad. Metabolized mostly by the liver so caution in hepatic impairement.

not associtated with weight gain or sesx dysf

cytochrome inhib!=DDI

23
Q

CI Bupropion

A

includes hepatic cytochrome inhibition causes DDIs
allergy
seizure disorder (HIGH RISK OF SEIZURE)
anorexia/bulemia ( causes weight loss and decreased appetite
use within 2 weeks of MAOI

24
Q

patients with depression who also have insomnia

A

mirtazapine

25
Q

Mirtazapine MOA

A

antagonizes alpha-2 adrenergic receptors and 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors which causes increased release of serotonin and NE.

26
Q

Mirtazapine SE

A

Dry mouth, increased appetite, weight gain (more than SSRI/SNRI), drowsiness, sedation, sexual dysfunction (less than SSRI).

LOWER HTN RISK
NO HEPATIC CYTOCHROME INHIB.= FEW DDIs

27
Q

Mirtazapine CI

A

Allergy
MAOI w/i 2 weeks.

28
Q

what are the atypical antidepressants

A

bupropion and mirtazapine

29
Q

Serotonin Modulators MOA

A

blocks the reuptake of 5-HT = increased serotonin
Nefazodone and trazodone also antagonize the 5-HT pump = increased serotonin
Vilazodone and Vortioxetine partially antagonize 5-HT pump = mimic serotonergic effects

30
Q

Serotonin Modulators Dosing AND CLEARANCE

A

QD or BID, Cleared through liver

31
Q

Serotonin Modulators SE

A

nausea, diarrhea, headache, suicide, serotonin syndrome.

32
Q

Serotonin Modulators CI

A

allergy
MAOI use W/I 2 weeks
caution with other serotonergic drugs

33
Q

What are the Serotonin Modulator medications

A

Nefazodone
Trazodone
Vilazodone
Vortioxetine

34
Q

SE: nefazadone

A

No sexual dysfunction, Less GI. increased Xerostomia, HA, Dizziness, insomnia or drowsiness, agitation, hypotension.
Hepatic Cytochrome enzyme inhibition = MOST DDI RISK OF ALL 5-HT inhib.
BBW = hepatotoxicity.

35
Q

Trazodone SE:

A

nausea, constipation, dry mouth, sedation, fatigue, sexual dysfunction (less than SSRIs or SNRIs.)

for severe, refractory depression w/o psychosis that is not respondant to ECT. short term use only!

39
Q
