1 ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDICATIONS This information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice. It s purpose is solely informative. If your client or yourself are taking antidepressants, do not change your dosage without consulting the prescribing doctor! According to the chemical imbalance theory, low levels of the brain chemical serotonin lead to depression and depression medication works by bringing serotonin levels back to normal. The Following are a list of the most common Anti-Depressant medications. They are split into two categories, 1) The more common and newer drugs are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and 2) the older and less used tricyclic antidepressants or MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). STOPPING MEDICATIONS Once you re clients starts taking antidepressants, stopping can be dangerous if done wrong. Many people have withdrawal symptoms if medication is removed too quickly. If your client decides to stop taking antidepressants, it s essential to do so under the supervision of a psychiatrist or the prescribing Doctor. In order to avoid antidepressant withdrawal symptoms, never stop your medication cold turkey. Instead, gradually taper your dose, allowing for at least 1-2 weeks between each dosage reduction. This tapering process may take up to several months, and should be monitored under a doctor's supervision. If they stop abruptly, they may experience a number of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as crying spells, extreme restlessness, dizziness, fatigue, and aches and pains. These withdrawal symptoms are known as antidepressant discontinuation syndrome. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is especially common when you stop taking Paxil or Zoloft. However, all medications for depression can cause withdrawal symptoms. Depression and anxiety are also common symptoms when withdrawing from antidepressants. When depression is a withdrawal symptom, it s often worse than the original depression that led to drug treatment in the first place. Unfortunately, many people mistake this withdrawal symptom for a return of their depressive illness and resume medication, creating a vicious circle.
2 SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS (SSRI s) The SSRIs act the chemical in the brain serotonin. Serotonin helps regulate mood, but it also plays a role in digestion, pain, sleep, mental clarity, and other bodily functions. As a result, the SSRI antidepressants cause a wide range of side effects. Common side effects include sexual problems, drowsiness, sleep difficulties, and nausea. While some side effects go away after the first few weeks of drug treatment, others persist and may even get worse. In adults over the age of 65, SSRIs pose an additional concern. Studies show that SSRI medications may increase the risk for falls, fractures, and bone loss in older adults. The SSRIs can also cause serious withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking them abruptly. Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults within the first few months of treatment. Individuals being treated with SSRI s should be watched for any change in symptoms or any new symptoms that appear suddenly especially agitation, anxiety, hostility, panic, restlessness, extreme hyperactivity, and suicidal thinking or behavior and report them to the doctor immediately. Be especially observant at the beginning of treatment or whenever there is a change in dose. Fluoxetine (Prozac) Prozac belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used in adults for the treatment of major depressive disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bulimia.
