Second-generation antidepressants are the most recently developed class of drugs used to treat depression. They are characterized by dissimilarity to tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and heterogeneity of chemical form and pharmacological action. Most second-generation antidepressants commonly used in the practice of psychiatry inhibit the reuptake of monoamine neurotransmitters, most commonly serotonin, less frequently norepinephrine, and occasionally dopamine.[1]
Classification
Second-generation antidepressants are classified by the biogenic amine receptor that they affect.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRI)
- Citalopram (generic). The United States of America Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning to not use higher doses because of use of the cytochrome P-450 system and also arrhythmias.[2]
- Escitalopram
- Fluoxetine (generic)
- Paroxetine (generic). May cause more sexual dysfunction.[3]
- Sertraline (generic). May cause more diarrhea.[3]
Serotonin 5-HT2A–receptor antagonist
Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI)
- Duloxetine
- Milnacipran
- Venlafaxine (generic) May cause more nausea and vomiting.[3]
Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA)
Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA). Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic compound, is also classified as a tricyclic antidepressant by the National Library of Medicine in the United States of America.[4]
Norepinephrine uptake inhibitor
- Maprotiline is a tetracyclic compound.
Dopamine reuptake inhibitor
Mechanism of action
Depression may be due to the monoamine-deficiency hypothesis, which is a "deficiency in serotonin or norepinephrine neurotransmission in the brain."[5]
By blocking the reuptake by the releasing neuron of norepinephrine, serotonin or both, second-generation antidepressants may overcome the mono-amine deficiency.[6] Some members of this class, perhaps in a dose-dependent manner, also block dopamine release.
In contrast, some first-generation antidepressants act through an alternate mechanism. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors raise levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin, in the synaptic gap between the releasing and receiving neurons, by blocking one of two subtypes of the enzyme in the receiving cell which metabolizes the three bioamines. These medications are named for the enzyme they suppress, monoamine oxidase. Tricyclic antidepressants suppress catechol-O-methyl transferase, and inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, but also produce significant side effects, most prominently anticholinergic in nature.
Effectiveness
Regarding the use of second-generation antidepressants, clinical practice guidelines by the American College of Physicians recommend:[7] [8]
- "when clinicians choose pharmacologic therapy to treat patients with acute major depression, they select second-generation antidepressants on the basis of adverse effect profiles, cost, and patient preferences"
- "second-generation antidepressants did not significantly differ in efficacy, effectiveness, or quality of life. Mirtazapine had a significantly faster onset of action"
- "when treating symptom clusters in patients with accompanying depression, second-generation antidepressants did not differ in efficacy in treating accompanying anxiety, pain, and somatization. Limited evidence suggests that some agents may be more effective in treating insomnia"
- "most of the second-generation antidepressants had similar adverse effects...paroxetine was associated with an increased risk for sexual dysfunction."
The effectiveness is antidepressants depends on the severity of a patient's depression. This relationship may be due to thedeclining effect of placebo among more severely depressed patients.[9]
Second-generation antidepressants are not clearly safer than tricyclic antidepressants.[10]
| American Psychiatric Association classification of severity[11] | Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) | Number needed to treat | Clinical significance (NICE)[12] |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild to moderate | < 19 | 16 | No |
| Severe | 19 - 22 | 11 | No |
| Very severe | > 22 | 4 | Yes |
Meta-analyses conflict about the relative effectiveness of the second-generation antidepressants with no difference reported[13] and superiority of sertraline and escitalopram reported. [14]
