  • Title: [New antidepressant drugs. What side effects and interactions are to be expected?].
    Author: Degner D, Grohmann R, Bleich S, Rüther E.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2000 Dec 07; 142(49-50):35-8, 40. PubMed ID: 11190936.
    Abstract:
    The new antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), selective serotonin noradrenalin reuptake inhibitors (SSNRI) and selective noradrenalin reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) have few clinically relevant side effects. Overall, the new antidepressants are better tolerated and cause fewer side effects than the classical tricyclic antidepressants (TCA). They have virtually no anticholinergic effects, a low level of toxicity, and produce no psychomotoric or cognitive impairment. Both the frequency and severity of gastrointestinal and CNS side effects, as well as tremor, are low. The results of the drug safety program (AMSP) confirm the good tolerability and low clinical side effects of these new substances.
