Talk:List of antidepressants

Untitled
This just seems to be a list of psychiatric drugs in general, rather than anti-depressants in particular(specified).

e.g.


 * Diazepam is benzo hypnotic and anxiolytic.
 * Haloperidol is a phenothiazine typical antipsychotic.

Will rename to List of psychiatric drugs. - Vaughan 13:29, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

OK, should now list anti-depressants only. It's not exhaustive, particularly in the trade names for drugs, so more should be added.

Abilify
This page/article should include Abilify (aripiprazole) to this list. It is from Otsuka America / Bristol-Myers Squibb. It is a D2 Partial Agonist, a D3 & 4 Antagonist, a 5-HT1A, 2A, & 2C Partial Agonist, a 5-HT7 Antagonist, an SRI (Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor), a α-adrenergic antagonist, and mACh receptor antagonist. It is (to my knowledge) the only antidepressant which can be taken on top of other antidepressants. It is also used for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder, as well as Major Depression, Autism, and there is some evidence to suggest that it blocks cocaine-seeking behavior. Apparently it also has antihistamine properties.

 * Okay, so I added a bunch of subcategories to the Miscellaneous category under which to put Abilify, all of which (so far) only have Abilify in them (although there may be other drugs which would fall under those categories) and the only reason I had to add so many is because Abilify is ALL of them (the ones I mentioned above).

Vilazodone moved to 5-HT 1A
"Vilazodone (Viibryd) is a related drug but does not fit into this category as it does not act as a serotonin antagonist, acting as a 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist instead." Was in the middle of the article, I moved the listing to the appropriate sub-section. 129.59.8.10 (talk) 19:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

mianserin in twice
mianserin appears as a TeCA as well as a NaSSA. Also mirtazapine is repeated in the same way. It seem that this must be in error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.74.169.21 (talk) 15:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * My understanding is 'tetracyclic' describes the chemical structure (4 rings) while 'Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic' describes the mechanism of action, so not mutually exclusive. Woodywoodpeckerthe3rd (talk) 18:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
