Tricyclic Anti-depressants (TCAs) EXAMPLE Elavil ( Ami-triptyline ) Pamelor ( Nor-triptyline )
Tetracyclic Anti-depressants (TeCA) MOA Increase serotonin and norepinephrine and affect other neurotransmitters
Tetracyclic Anti-depressants (TeCA) EXAMPLE Remeron ( Mirtazapine )
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) USE "Depression" and various type of "Anxiety - Related Disorders"
SSRIs MOA They work by selectively blocking the reabsorption of "serotonin" it's the most popular class with less side effects.
SSRI's EXAMPLES Prozac ( Flu-oxetine ) Paxil ( Par-oxetine ) Zolof ( Ser-traline ) Celexa ( Citalo-pram ) Lexapro ( Escitalo-pram )
Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) USE Depression Anxiety disorders Nerve Pain Fibromyalgia
SNRIs MOA Selectively blocking the reabsorption of "Serotonin" and "Norepinephrine"
SNRIs EXAMPLES Effexor (Venla-faxine ) Cymbalta ( Dul-oxetine )
Serotonin Antagonist & Reuptake Inhibitors (SARIs) USE Insomia (off-label use)
SARIs MOA SARIs has less selectivity; affect other "neurotransmitters". They block the binding of serotonin at certain undesired receptors and block serotonin reabsorption.
SARIs EXAMPLE Desyrel ( Trazo-done )
Norepinephrine Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors (NDRIs) USE "Depression" and Smoking cessation
NDRIs MOA NDRIs work by selectively blocking the reabsorption of "norepinephrine" and "dopamine"
NDRIs EXAMPLE Wellbutrin, Zyaban ( Bupropion )
Benzodiazepines USE "Anxiety" "insomnia" Seizure Muscle spasm They are DEA Schedule "IV"
Benzodiazepines MOA Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the inhibitory neurotransmitter "Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid" (GABA)
Benzodiazepines for " Anxiety " Xanax ( Alprazo-lam) Klonopin ( Clonaze-pam ) Ativan ( Loraze-pam ) Valium ( Diaze-pam ) They are DEA Schedule "IV"
Benzodiazepines For " Insomnia " Restoril ( Temaze-pam )

Anti-psychotics Typical First Generation Might cause "Extrapyramidal Symptoms" (EPS) which are drug induced movement disorder affecting various parts of the body
Anti-psychotics Atypical 2nd generation Block dopamine receptors more selectively, which causes less (EPS) side effects - causing more weight gain
Anti-psychotics Atypical "2nd generation" EXAMPLES Risperdal ( Risperidone ) Seroquel ( Quetiapine ) Abilify ( Aripiprazole )
Parkinson Disease Medications USE Reduces: Tremor & Rigidity
Dopamine Precursor + Decarboxylase Inhibitor Combo "Parkinson Disease Medications" Sinemet ( Levodopa + Carbidopa )
Dopamine Agonist "Parkinson Disease Medications" Mirapex ( Pramipexole ) Requip ( Ropinirole ) They are also use for "Restless Leg Syndrome" ( RLS )
