Medications for Treatment of Depression
Norepinephrine dopaminereuptake inhibitors, serotonin modulators, and serotonin norepinephrinereuptake inhibitors
The following classes of antidepressants are as effective and safe as SSRIs and have similar side effects: Norepinephrine-dopaminereuptake inhibitors (such asbupropion) Serotonin modulators (such asmirtazapineandtrazodone) Serotonin-norepinephrinereuptake inhibitors (such asvenlafaxineandduloxetine) As may occur with SSRIs, the risk of suicide may be temporarily increased when these medications are first started, and abruptly stopping serotonin-norepinephrinereuptake inhibitors may result in a discontinuation syndrome. Other side effects vary depending on the medication (see table).
