Over the next 20 years, the benzodiazepines, TCAs, MAOIs, and beta-blockers were used to treat anxiety disorders. By the mid-1980s, up to 10% of all Americans were taking a benzodiazepine. In 1988, fluoxetine (Prozac) was introduced by Eli Lilly as the first selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. Its success led to the development of several other SSRI drugs. Today, these drugs are the first line of drug treatment for most anxiety disorders.

METHAMPHETAMINE Imatinib may cause t plasma concentrations of these drugs, with a risk of toxic effects Inhibition of CYP2D6-mediated metabolism of these drugs Watch for early features of toxicity of these drugs... 

Fluoxetine and paroxetine inhibit the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP2D6 thus inhibiting the metabolism of some beta blockers (e.g. propranolol, metoprolol, carvedilol) so that they accumulate, the result being that their effects, such as bradycardia, may be increased. Citalopram and escitalopram may also inhibit CYP2D6. In vitro studies with human liver microsomes found that fluoxetine and paroxetine are potent inhibitors of metoprolol metabolism and fluvoxamine, sertraline and citalopram less potent. However, fluvoxamine also potently inhibits the metabolism of propranolol by CYP1A2. Beta blockers that are not extensively me-...
