Antidepressants Which Can Help Your To Overcome Anxiety. Part 2.

Now we are going to speak about other type of antidepressants. These medications often influence the level of serotonin and other neurotransmitters such as dopamine. There is a great choice of medications to choose, each with their own effects. They are: Serotonin or Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), Norepinephrine Reputake Inhibitors (NRIs),Noradrenergic/Specific-Serotonergic Antidepressants (NaSSAs), and Serotonin-2 Antagonists Reputake Inhibitors (SARIs).
Beside the above mentioned antidepressants there is an older type of these medications which is called tricyclic antidepressants that is associated with many adverse reactions. As a rule they are used in case the previous medication hasn’t brought the desirable results. This type of antidepressants is considered to be an unfavourable option is that they can often raise anxiety for some period, before the benefits start to occur. At the beginning they are given in smaller doses and then the dosages are gradually increased as the patient adapts to them.
Buttricylic antidepressants can also cause a number of other side effects such as hazy vision, gain inweight, dry mouth and constipation.
And there is one more type of antidepressants we’d like to speak about, they are MAO inhibitors, which are the oldest medications for depression. They help to keep some of the neurotransmitters active in the brain. Still, they might provokesome serious adverse-reactions. For instance, taking MAO inhibitors with some kind of food can lead to lethal outcome. This includes such kind of food likecheese, avocados, tomatoes, beer andwine. So it’s obvious that this is not the best option. It can be beneficial for patients who suffer from extreme anxiety, and after unsuccessful attempts of using other medication options.
