All SSRIs but paroxetine C
(D) are pregnancy
category
Three SSRIs that are fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and paroxetine
inhibitors of Cytochrome
P450 enzymes
Five common SNRIs include duloxetine, venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, milnacipran,
levomilnacipran
This antidepressant class of SNRIs
medications works by
binding to presynaptic SERT
and NET to inhibit them from
reuptake of serotonin and
norepinephrine to increase
their levels in the synaptic
cleft
