Deprescribing Anti-Depressives
"Titration" Helps Avoid Withdrawal like Symptoms -Flu like Symptoms -Insomnia -Nausea -Poor Balance -Sensory Disturbance -Hyperarousal
Bupropion
Treats Nicotine Withdrawal
NDRI
Imipramine
Treats Enuresis
Duloxetine
Treats: Diabetic Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, MSK pain, stress incontinence
-SNRI
What is an anti-depressant that treats stress incontinence?
Duloxetine
Fluvoxamine
SSRI only for OCD
Amoxapine
SSNRI+ Dopamine Antagonis
SARAs (Sertonin Adrenergic Receptor Antagonist)
Nefazodone
Trazodone
Mirtazapine
MAOI
Isoscarboxazid
Phenelzine
Segeline
Trancyclopromine
NDRI (Nadi/DA reuptake inhibitor)
Bupropion
enhanced pre-synaptic release of NE and DA via VMAT
selectively inhibits pre-synaptic reuptake of NE via NET and DA via DAT
SSRIs
Citalopram Escitalopram Sertiline Fluoxetine Paroxetine Valazodone Vortioxetine
less impact on histamine/ muscarinic/ adrinergic receptors
SNRIs
TCAs Desvenlafaxine Duloxtine Venalfaxine Lenomilnacipran
SSRI MOA
inhibit presynaptic re-uptake of serotonin via SERT
SSRI Side effects
sexual dysfunction CNS sedation/insomnia withdrawal rxns QT Prolongation Hyponatremia (esp in old people) Sertonin Syndrome Suicidality esp in young adults
Why should you be very cautious giving SSRIs to old people?
Risk of hyponatremia
Serotonin Syndrome
Sweating, Hyperreflexia***, Myoclonus, Tremors, Dilated pupils, hyperactive bowel sounds
-HTN, Tachycardia, Tachypnea, Hyperthermia
Neuroepileptic Malignant Syndrome
-HTN, Tachycardia, Tachypnea, Hyperthermia
hyporeflexia***, normal pupils, normal bowel sounds
Why should you be cautious with using opioids and antidepressants?
Increased risk of serotonin syndrome
Fluoxetine
broad and strong inhibitor of CYP (most powerful)
Least CYP inhibition form SSRI
Vortioxetine
Escitalopram
secondary amines
amoxapine
desipramine
nortriptyline
inhibit NE>5HT
Tertiary amines
Amytriptyline
Clomipramine
Doxepin
Imipramine
generally inhibit NE and 5HT equally except clomipramine and amytriptyiline
What is unique about Amitriptyline and Clomipramine?
Tertiary amines that inhibit 5HT more than NE
TCAs
amitriptline clomipramine doxepine imipramine amoxapine desipramine Nortriptyline
**Blocks other receptors (histamine, muscarinic, adrinergic)
Side effects of TCAs
Tachycardia Orthostatic hypotension Dysrythmia Dry mouth Urinary Retention Blurred Vision Sedation/Fatigue
TCA overdose
coma, cardiotoxicity, convulsions
TCA effects in cardio cells
slows conductions
changes QRS
blocks sodium channels
(quinedien like)
Non-TCA SNRI
Desvenlafaxine,
Duloxetine
Venlafaxine
Levomilnacipran
*less risk of sexual dysfunction
Mirtazapine
Blocks alpha 2 receptors on NE and 5-HT presynaptically and blocks post-synaptic 5-HT 2/3
- No SERT/NET actvity
- *H1 blockade (Sedation)
**weight gain
Nefazodone & Trazodone
**H1 blockade (sedation)
block post-synaptic alpha one receptor and post synaptic 5-HT2
Orthostatic Hypotension
