| Trazadone Hydrochloride (Desyrel) | Func Class: Antidepressant, used for insomnia Chem Class: Triazolopyridine Action: inhibits serotonin, norepinephrine uptake by brain |
| Citalopram (Celexa) | Func Class: Antidepressant Chem Class: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Action: inhibits serotonin uptake but NOT norepinephrine |
| Escitalopram Oxalate (Lexapro) | Func Class: Antidepressant, SSRI Action: inhibits serotonin uptake but NOT norepinephrine |
| Fluoxetine Hydrochloride (Prozac, Sarafem) | Func Class:Antidepressant, SSRI Action: inhibits serotonin uptake but NOT norepinephrine |
| Paroxetine (Paxil) | Func Class: Antidepressant, SSRI Action: inhibits serotonin uptake but NOT norepinephrine or dopamine |
| Sertraline Hydrochloride (Zoloft) | Func Class: Antidepressant Chem Class: SSRI Action: inhibits serotonin reuptake in CNS. thus increasing action of serotonin; does not affect dopamine, norepinephrine |
| Duloxetine (Cymbalta) | Func Class: Antidepressant Chem Class: Serotonin, norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) |
| Desvvenlafaxine (Pristiq, Khedezla) | Func Class: Antidepressant, serotonin-receptor norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor Action: may work by blocking the central presynaptic reuptake of 5-HT and NE, resulting in increased sustained level of these neurotransmitters |
| Venlafaxine Hydrochloride (Effexor) | Func Class: Second-generation SNRI antidepressant Action: potent inhibitor of neuronal serotonin and norepinephrine uptake |
| Amitripyline (Elavil, Levate) | Func Class: Antidepressant- tricyclic Chem Class: Tertiart amine Action: Blocks reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin into nerve endings that increase their action |
| Nortriptyline Hydrochloride | Func Class: Antidepressant, tricyclic Action: Blocks reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin into nerve endings, increasing action of norepinephrine, serotonin in nerve cells |
| Mirtazapine (Remeron) | Func Class: Antidepressant Chem Class: Tetracyclic Action: Blocks reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin into nerve endings, increasing action of norepinephrine, serotonin in nerve cells |
| Bupropion (Wellbutrin) | Func Class: Antidepressant Chem Class: Aminoketone Action: inhibits reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin |
| Alprazolam (Xanax) | Func Class: Antianxiety/sedative/hypnotic Chem Class: Benzodiazepine, short/intermediate acting Action: depresses subcortical levels of CNS |
| Clonazepam (Klonopin) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Chem Class: Benzodiazepine derivative |
| Diazepam (Valium) | Func Class: Antianxiety, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, central action Chem Class: Benzodiazepine, long-acting |
| Lorazepam (Ativan) | Func Class: Sedative-hypnotic, anti anxiety agent Chem Class: Benzodiazepine, short-acting |
| Temazepam (Restoril) | Func Class: Sedative-hypnotic Chem Class: Benzodiazepine, short-intermediate acting Action: CNS depression |
| Buspirone Hyrochloride (Buspar) | Func Class: Antianxiety, sedative Chem Class: Azaspirodecanedione Action: inhibits action of serotonin |
| Amphetamine (Adderall) | Func Class: CNS stimulant, treats ADHD |
| Dexmethylphenidate Hydrochloride (Focalin) | Func Class: CNS stimulant, psychostimulant Action: incdreases release of norepinephrine and dopamine into the extra neuronal space, also blocks reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron |
| Lisdexamfetamine Dimsylate (Vyvanse) | Func Class: CNS stimulant Chem Class: Amphetamine Action: increases release of norepinephrine and dopamine in cerebral cortex |
| Methylphenidate (Concerta) | Func Class: cerebral stimulant Chem Class: piperidine derivative Action: increases release of norepinephrine and dopamine in cerebral cortex |
| Lithium | Func Class: Antimanic/ antipsychotic Chem Class: Alkali metal ion salt |
| Aripiprazole (Ability) | Func Class: Antipsychotic/neuroleptic |
| Risperidone (Risperdal) | Func Class: Antipsychotic Chem Class: Benzisoxazole derivative |
| Quetapine Fumarate (Seroquel) | Func Class: Antipsychotic Chem Class: Dibenzodiapepine Action: Functions as an antagonist at multiple neurotransmitter receptors in the brain |
| Divalproex Sodium (valproate) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant, vascular headache suppressant Chem Class: Carboxylic acid derivative Action: Increases GABA in the brain which decreases. seizure activity |
| Phenytoin (Dilantin) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant/ antidysrhythmic Chem Class: Hydantoin Action: Inhibits spread of seizure activity in motor cortex by altering ion transport |
| Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Chem Class: GABA analogue Action: May increase seizure threshold |
| Lamotrigine (Lamictal) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Chem Class: Phenyltriazine Action: May inhibit voltage-sensitive sodium channels, decreasing seizures |
| Levetiracetam (Keppra) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Action: may inhibit nerve impulses by limiting influx of sodium ions across cell membrane in motor cortex |
| Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Action: may inhibit nerve impulses by limiting influx of sodium ions across cell membrane in motor cortex |
| Pregabalin (Lyrica) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Action: Binds to high-voltage calcium channels in CNS tissues; this may lead to anticonvulsant action |
| Topiramate (Topamax) | Func Class: Anticonvulsant Chem Class: Monosaccharide derivative Action: Increased GABA activity; may prevent seizure spread |
