The 'S' in 'SSRI' is a bit of a joke.
Prozac is a dopamine and noradrenaline disinhibitor.
Luvox is a potent sigma-1 agonist.
Zoloft is a DRI and also acts on sigma-1 receptors.
Celexa is an antihistaminergic.
Lexapro acts on sigma-1 receptors as well.
Paxil has antihistaminergic and anticholinergic properties and acts on dopamine in higher doses.'RSSRI' would have been a more appropiate name: ' R' for 'Relatively'...
How I love to go off-topic with you guys and gals.
Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
