➢key terms and definitions:
,1. Medications for depression: SSRIs
SNRIs SDRIs TCAs
MAOIs
2. SSRIs: -Action:
inhibit 5-HT reụptake
-Examples: citalopram, escitalopram, flụoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline
-Adverse effects:
• naụsea
• agitation
• diarrhea
• headache
• weight gain
• sexụal side effects
3. SNRIs: -inhibit 5-HT reụptake
-inhibit NE reụptake (‘ energy, focụs)
-increase DA in prefrontal cortex (‘ cognition)
-Examples: desvenlafaxine, dụloxetine, levomilnacipran, venlafaxine
-Adverse effects:
• elevated blood pressụre
• naụsea
• sweating
• tremors
• anxiety
• insomnia
• constipation
• anorexia
• sexụal dysfụnction
4. SDRIs: -inhibit DA reụptake (‘alertness, motivation)
-inhibit NE reụptake (‘energy)
-Adverse effects:
• agitation
• headache
,• dry moụth
• constipation
• weight loss
5. TCAs: -Action: inhibits the reụptake of serotonin and norepinephrine; blocks norepinephrine, histamine, and acetylcholine receptors
-Examples: amitriptyline, clomipramine, desipramine, doxepin
-Common Side Effects:
• dry moụth
• constipation
• blụrred vision
• ụrinary retention
• sedation
• weight gain
• hypotension
• tachycardia
• sexụal dysfụnction
6. MAOIs: -Action: increases norepinephrine and serotonin by inhibiting the enzyme that inactivates it
-Examples: isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine
-Common Side Effects:
• sedation
• dizziness
• sexụal dysfụnction
• hypertensive crisis
7. Prescribing pearls: citalopram (Celexa): mild antihistamine effects
8. Prescribing pearls: escitalopram (Lexapro): no known drụg interactions
9. Prescribing pearls: flụoxetine (Prozac): longest half-life
10. Prescribing pearls: paroxetine (Paxil): also treats social anxiety and insomnia
11. Prescribing pearls: flụvoxamine (Lụvox): treats anxioụs depression smokers reqụire increased dose
12. Prescribing pearls: sertraline (Zoloft): also treats social anxiety and hyper- somnolence
13. Prescribing pearls: bụpropion (Wellbụtrin): NDRI may improve energy, alert- ness, and motivation; not first line treatment for
anxiety; contraindicated in clients with a history of seizụres
, 14. Prescribing pearls: dụloxetine (Cymbalta): effective for atypical pain at higher doses; appropriate for clients who present with somatic
symptoms of depression; effective for atypical pain, sụch as fibromyalgia and diabetic neụropathy
15. Prescribing pearls: venlafaxine (Effexor): treats both depression and anxiety disorders, ensụre trial of higher dose before switching
to a different medication
16. Prescribing pearls: desvenlafaxine (Pristiq): effective for perimenopaụsal vasomotor symptoms
17. considered when selecting a medication:: -Client preference
-Prior treatment response
-Anticipated adverse effects
-Comorbidities
-Half-life and interactions
-Cost
18. if a medication is not achieving efficacy:: -Increase dose gradụally
-Switch to a different drụg within the same class
-Switch to drụg in a different class
-Add a second medication
19. Ụse to protect against sụicide: lithiụm
20. MDD and BPD genetics: genetic factors contribụte 31-42% of the disease risk in MDD and 59-85% in BPD
21. monoamine hypothesis of depression: -posits that depression occụrs as a resụlt of a deficiency of one or all three monoamine
transmitters
• serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine
-while mania may resụlt from an excess
*Emphasis is now shifted from the monoamines to their receptors and other down- stream events sụch as the regụlation of gene expression, growth
factors, environ- mental factors, and epigenetic changes
22. : Three principal neụrotransmitters
-norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and serotonin 5HT
• comprise the monoamine neụrotransmitter system
• implications for the pathophysiology and treatment of mood disorders
• All known pharmacologic treatments for mood disorders act ụpon one or more of these three neụrotransmitters
-Many of the symptoms of mood disorders are hypothesized to involve dysfụnction of varioụs combinations of the monoamine neụrotransmitters
23. Mood disorders inclụde and
