2. MAOI(Monoamine oxidase inhibitors) - monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors such as isocarboxazid (Marplan). MAO inhibitors obstruct the enzymatic degradation of norepinephrine and serotonin.
Though, they're commonly prescribed for patients with atypical depression (for example, depression marked by an increased appetite and need for sleep, rather than anorexia and insomnia) and for some patients who fail to respond to TCAs.
These MAO inhibitors are associated with a high risk of toxicity; patients treated with one of these drugs must be able to comply with the necessary dietary restrictions. 3. SSRIs antidepressant medication (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRls), such as fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft).
These antidepressants are becoming the drugs of choice for treating depression. SSRls are effective and produce fewer adverse effects than TCAs. Despite that, they're associated with sleep and GI problems and alterations in sexual desire and function.
4. Antidepressant - maprotiline, trazodone (Desyrel), and bupropion (Wellbutrin) aren't chemically related to the other antidepressants listed above; however,they're effective in treating depression by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin, and epinephrine, respectively.
Nevertheless, the reason they aren't used as commonly as the other compounds is because of increased adverse effects.
