Fluvoxamine

34
Q

MOA of Vilazodone?

MOA of Vortioxetine?

Both are SSRI’s via SERT

Vilazodone = partial agonist of 5-HT1A

Vortioxetine = partial agonist of 5-HT1B and full agonist of 5-HT1A. Full antagonist of 5-HT3

35
Q

NMS versus Serotonin syndrome

A

NMS = DA agents like antipsychotics. Hyporeflexia!

SS = Serotonergic agents like SSRI/SNRI/TCA/MOA. Hyperreflexia

36
Q

What med is an NDRI?

This med also inc the pre-syn release of NE and DA. How does it do this?

What is the SE of this med?

A

Buproprion

MOA = acts on VMAT2 to inc pre-syn release of NE and DA

SE = seizures

37
Q

Before starting an MAOI for resistant depression, what should we do first?

A

Allow for a 2 week wash out period of other drugs (TCA, SSRI, SNRI)
