Tolerability of Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor Antidepressants

Montgomery, Stuart A.·2008·CNS Spectrums

Abstract

All three serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) inhibit the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine but they do so with differing affinity ratios. Venlafaxine has a 30-fold higher affinity for serotonin than for norepinephrine while duloxetine has a 10-fold selectivity for serotonin. Milnacipran has a balanced (1:1) ratio of potency for inhibition of reuptake of the two neurotransmitters. The most frequent adverse event with SNRIs is nausea. Not unexpectedly, adverse effects related to a noradrenergic stimulation, such as dry mouth, sweating, and constipation, are found more frequently with SNRIs than with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. At true SNRI doses, venlafaxine is associated with dose-dependent cardiovascular phenomena (principally increased blood pressure), an effect which is less frequent with duloxetine and rare with milnacipran. Serious and potentially fatal hepatotoxity has been reported with duloxetine. This problem appears to be unique to duloxetine and not a characteristic of the SNRI class. There are differences in overdose toxicity between venlafaxine and the other SNRIs, possibly related to its increased cardiotoxicity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
