Because of the improved tolerability and safety of newer antidepressants, MAOIs are not currently used as first-line agents. However, MAOIs remain excellent medications for patients whose symptoms do not respond to the newer antidepressant drugs. Patients with atypical depression, characterized by oversleeping and overeating, show a preferential response to MAOI therapy compared with TCAs (Liebowitz et al. 1984 Quitkin et al. 1979 Ra-varis etal. 1980 Zisook 1985).

MIRTAZAPINE ANTIDEPRESSANTS-MAOIs Risk of severe hypertensive reactions and of serotonin syndrome For signs and symptoms of serotonin toxicity, see Qinical Features of Some Adverse Drug Interactions, Serotonin toxidty and serotonin syndrome Additive inhibition of both serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake Avoid co-administration. MAOIs should not be started for at least 2 weeks after stopping mirtazapine (moclobemide can be started at least 1 week after stopping mirtazapine). Conversely, mirtazapine should not be started for at least 2 weeks after stopping MAOIs... [Pg.200]

TETRABENAZINE ANTIDEPRESSANTS -MAOIs Risk of confusion and agitation Uncertain although tetrabenazine depletes norepinephrine, if it started on a patient who is already taking MAOIs, it may stimulate the release of accumulated neurotransmitter. This will not be expected to occur if a patient starts MAOI while already taking tetrabenazine Tetrabenazine may cause depression so should be used with caution in patients with depression. If necessaiy, consider using an alternative antidepressant or start an MAOI after tetrabenazine has been established... [Pg.286]
