44
SSRIs toxicity
``` Gi distress Sexual dysfunction Seratonin syndrome with any drug that increases seratonin hypothermia confusion myoclonus cardiovascular colapse flushing diarrhea seizures ```
45

MDD bedwetting--imipramine OCD---clomipramine fibromyalgia
53
TCA antidepressants toxicity
``` sedation postural hypotension (alpha 1 blocking) Atropine-like SE: tachy, urinary retension, dry mouth( greater in amytiptyline) higher seizure threshold--desipramine confusin especially elderly hallucinations respiratory depression hyperpyrexia ```
54
what are three C's of TCA's | and treatment for the last C
Convulsions Coma Cardiotoxicity--arrythmias NaHCO3
55

64
Mirtazapine MOA and use
alpha 2 antagonist: increase NE and serotonin release Potent 5-HT2 and 3 receptor antagonist Depression
65
Mirtazapine toxicity
Sedation--not so great in depressed increased appetite weight gain--may be good for elderly dry mouth
66
Maprotiline MOA and use
Blocks NE reuptake | Depression
67
Maprotiline toxicity
Sedation | orthostatic hypotension
68
Trazodone MOA and use
inhibits serotonin reuptake | insomnia and antidepressants in high doses
