@nerdcriticalcare: Nclex review for the week: Antidepressants ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ง Memory Trick for Side Effects Hereโs your golden mnemonic: A-B-C-D! A โ Anticholinergic effects B โ Blurred vision and Bladder distention C โ Constipation D โ Dry mouth and Drowsiness And donโt forget the add-ons: weight gain and low blood pressure. Anytime you see these on NCLEX and the med ends with โ-lineโ or โ-mine,โ think antidepressant side effects right away! ๐ Now, letโs jump into the meds! โจ 1. SSRIs โ the โhappy hormone helpers.โ When you hear SSRIs, think Sertraline and all the โ-XETโ drugs โ fluOXETine, paroXETine. They raise serotonin levels but take 2โ4 weeks to work, so remind patients: โYou might not feel better right away โ stay consistent!โ โ ๏ธ Watch for serotonin syndrome โ fever, agitation, tremor, and sweating. ๐ซ Never mix with MAOIs or St. Johnโs Wort โ that can cause serotonin overload! ๐ง 2. MAOIs โ the old-school danger zone. Think Phenelzine and Tranylcypromine. Theyโre the only antidepressants with food restrictions! Avoid tyramine-rich foods like aged cheese, wine, beer, and smoked meats โ unless you want a hypertensive crisis! But hereโs your food hack: safe with most fresh fruits and veggies โ except the BARs โ Bananas, Avocados, and Raisins. And remember: always have a 2-week washout period before switching to another antidepressant. ๐ค 3. Tricyclics โ the โTRIโ meds. Think AmiTRIptyline and ImIpramIne โ spot the three Iโs for TRIcyclic! These are sedating, so take them at bedtime. Toxicity alert ๐จ โ look for wide QRS or arrhythmia โ thatโs cardiac toxicity on NCLEX! ๐ 4. Atypicals โ the cool kids. Bupropion helps with depression and smoking cessation โ but skip it for patients with seizure or eating disorders. Trazodone helps you sleep, but beware of priapism โ a prolonged erection thatโs a medical emergency! ๐ฅ Final NCLEX Reminders: Antidepressants take time โ encourage consistency. Always assess for suicid@l @thoughts with dose changes. Never stop abruptly. And remember: SSRIs are first-line, MAOIs are the old-school danger zone! ๐ฏ โAnd thatโs your antidepressant power review! Master the ABCD side effects, connect the med names, and youโll breeze through those NCLEX psych questions like a pro nurse!โ ๐ช๐ฉบ #nclex #nurse #nursingstudent #medicalstudent #antidepressants
