X Serotonin
Noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors - Both the EFNS and AAN guidelines support the use of duloxetine (dose 60-120 mg/day) and venlafaxine (dose 75-225mg/day).21 Common side effects include nausea, somnolence, dry mouth, and constipation.
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin
noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) all increase the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, with varying degrees of specificity.
Randomized placebo-controlled trials with tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and
noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) were analyzed.
4 SNRIS (serotonin and
noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors) work in a similar way to SSRIs with side effects of nausea, headaches, dizziness and sweating.
David Healey, director of the North Wales Department of Psychological Medicine noted the link between the new antidepressants-Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors or SSRI'S and Serotonin
Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors or SNRI'S--and an increased risk of suicide and violent behaviour in teenagers or children, who were prescribed the drugs.
Reboxetine is the first in a new class of drugs, called selective
noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors. These drugs may treat patients more reliably than some selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors without subjecting them to the side effects associated with tricycic antidepressants, reported Dr.
There are four types of anti-depressants: Tricyclics, such as Tryptizol (the cheapest, as you'll see from our guide on the right) and Anafranil; Mono amine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as Nardil and Parnate; Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac and Lustral (the most expensive); and Serotonin and
Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), such as Efexor.
