antidepressants what do they mostly block reuptake of snri, ssri, tca= mostly nore, sero, dopa
how do benzos work depress cns by increasing GABA
psychostimulants how work increase nore and dopa
antipsychotics what do they block reuptake of dopamine and serotonin
SSRI side effects serotonin in gut = nausea platelet aggregation= increase bleeding risk
anti-HAM meaning if a drug blocks Histamine= sedate, drowsy, weight gain Adrenergic= hypotension and dizzy Muscarinic=antichol s/s
what enzyme metabolizes most meds cyp 450 in liver can vary due to genetics or food etc
