Fluvoxamine, sold under the brand name Luvox among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. [8] It is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and, perhaps more-especially, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), [9] but is also used to treat anxiety disorders [10] such as panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress ...
Patiromer was generally well tolerated in studies. Side effects that occurred in more than 2% of patients included in clinical trials were mainly gastro-intestinal problems such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence, and also hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium in the blood) in 5% of patients, because patiromer binds magnesium in the gut as well.
Treatment guidelines from the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence [36] recommend against the use of SSRIs in this disorder. Those from the American Psychiatric Association note that SSRIs confer no advantage regarding weight gain, but that they may be used for the treatment of co-existing depression, anxiety, or OCD. [37]
Gabapentin at a low dose of 100 mg has a T max (time to peak levels) of approximately 1.7 hours, while the T max increases to 3 to 4 hours at higher doses. [85] Food does not significantly affect the T max of gabapentin and increases the C max and area-under-curve levels of gabapentin by approximately 10%.
Dextroamphetamine (INN: dexamfetamine) is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and enantiomer [note 1] of amphetamine that is primarily prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
Risperidone has proven to be effective in treatment with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), especially in cases of aggression [42] [43] or with another mental condition.

Adderall and Mydayis [11] are trade names [note 2] for a combination drug containing four salts of amphetamine.The mixture is composed of equal parts racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which produces a (3:1) ratio between dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, the two enantiomers of amphetamine. [13]
The effective dosage guideline for an antipsychotic is very closely related to its receptor residency time (i.e., where drugs like aripiprazole take several minutes or more to disassociate from a receptor while drugs like quetiapine and clozapine—with guideline dosages in the hundreds of milligrams—take under 30s) [25] [26] [27] and long ...
