Receptor type Serotonin 3 (5-HT3) Alpha-1 adrenergic (α-1) Histamine (H1) Muscarinic (m1) Info
-Longest half-life = highest risk for serotonin syndrome -Many drug interactions -Most stimulating SSRI -Lowest weight gain = good for eating disorders -Low risk of sexual AEs
-Few drug interactions -Highest risk of GI problems -Shortest half-life = highest risk of d/c symptoms -Most sedating SSRI and greatest weight gain and greatest sexual AEs -Greatest anticholinergic activity -HTN -Sedating -Less AEs than venlafaxine -Works well for fibromyalgia -Good for sleep and pain
-AEs: GI, CNS, sexual, sedation, fatigue, dry mouth, hypotension, withdrawal if d/c abruptly, prolonged QT, rash, insomnia, asthenia, seizure, tremor, somnolence, mania, suicidal ideation, worsened depression -Risk of serotonin syndrome: shivering, hyperreflexia, myoclonus, ataxia, n/v/d
-Equally effective as SSRIs for treating major depression -May be more effective in the setting of diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, msk pain, stress incontinence, sedation, fatigue, and patients with comorbid anxiety -AEs: GI, HTN, CNS, permanent sexual?, diaphoresis, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, blurred vision, suicidal ideation, dysuria, worsened depression -Fewer drug interactions
-May increase sexual function -Has stimulant effects = good for comorbid ADHD or for helping quit smoking but don’t use if comorbid anxiety or eating disorder -AEs: lower seizure threshold, insomnia, nervousness, agitation, anxiety, tremor, arrhythmias, HTN, tachycardia, S-J, weight loss, GI, arthralgia or myalgia, confusion, dizziness, HA, psychosis, suicidal ideation -Less nausea and sexual AEs -Overdose is generally safe -AEs: the most sedating antidepressant (= good for insomnia!), weight gain, orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, dry mouth -AEs: arrhythmia, hyper or hypotension, diaphoresis, GI, hemolytic anemia, leukocytosis, dizziness, HA, insomnia, lethargy, memory impairment, seizure, somnolence, priapism, weight gain
