Background Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) have been commonly prescribed for depression treatment. However, their effects on blood pressure are unclear. Materials and methods Effects on blood pressure of depressive patients in two groups (SSRIs versus placebo and SSRIs versus SNRIs) were evaluated. A search was conduc...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have become the most popular antidepressants over the last decade, largely because they have a better side effect profile than the medications that were widely used previously, the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). The SSRIs mostly have one main mechanism of action, inhibition of serotonin reuptake. A f...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are associated with significant sexual side effects. By definition, all SSRIs increase overall serotonin (5HT) by binding to serotonin autoreceptors (5HT(IA)); however, each SSRI has a unique portfolio of secondary binding properties to other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (NE). As 5HT(IA) receptors mediate NE neurotransmission, SSRIs th...

background: given the importance of the role of depression in predicting the outcome of cardiovascular disorders, current medications for treating depression, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), are taken into  consideration. this study aimed to systematically review the published findings in the use of ssris and the risk for cardiac events. materials and methods: an i...

Background: Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) is a set of heterogeneous disorders, that may arise during the administration antidepressant Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRIs) persist after their discontinuation. PSSD commonly associated with problems marked distress poor quality life. To date, however, no effective treatment ...
