This is a list of adverse effects of the antidepressant trazodone, sorted by frequency of occurrence. [1] [2] [3] Very common.
Trazodone, sold under many brand names, [1] is an antidepressant medication [20] used to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and insomnia. [20] It is a phenylpiperazine compound of the serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) class.
Niaprazine (Nopron) – a drug related to this group but does not inhibit the reuptake of serotonin or the other monoamines. Medifoxamine (Clédial, Gerdaxyl) – could perhaps technically be said to belong to this group, as it is a serotonin–dopamine reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2C receptor antagonist, but not grouped as such. [1]
An overdose is more likely to be fatal when mixed with another depressant that suppresses breathing. [citation needed] Physical and psychological dependence does happen with long-term use of carbamates, particularly carisoprodol. Today, carisoprodol is only used in the short term for muscle pain, particularly back pain.
Celexa – an antidepressant of the SSRI class; Centrax – an anti-anxiety agent; Clozaril – atypical antipsychotic used to treat resistant schizophrenia; Concerta (methylphenidate) – an extended release form of methylphenidate
The pharmacology of antidepressants is not entirely clear.. The earliest and probably most widely accepted scientific theory of antidepressant action is the monoamine hypothesis (which can be traced back to the 1950s), which states that depression is due to an imbalance (most often a deficiency) of the monoamine neurotransmitters (namely serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine). [1]
Nefazodone is a phenylpiperazine compound and is related to trazodone. It has been described as a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) due to its combined actions as a potent antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2C receptors and weak serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI).
