Antidepressant medications
What are antidepressants?
Used to treat depression, also used for other health conditions, such as anxiety,
pain and insomnia.
The most popular types of antidepressants are called selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Examples of SSRIs include:
Fluoxetine
Citalopram
Sertraline
Paroxetine
Escitalopram
Other types of antidepressants are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake
inhibitors (SNRIs). SNRIs are similar to SSRIs and include
venlafaxine and duloxetine.
SSRIs, and SNRIs are popular because they do not cause as many side effects
as older classes of antidepressants, and seem to help a broader group of
depressive and anxiety disorders.
Older antidepressant meds include tricyclics, tetracyclics, and monoamine
oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
How do people respond to antidepressants?
all antidepressant meds work about as well as each other to improve symptoms of
depression and to keep depression symptoms from coming back.
Can take 4 to 6 weeks for it to work.
Important to not stop taking them without the help of a doctor. Sometimes people
taking antidepressants feel better and stop taking the medication too soon, and
the depression may return.
