Thank you for the detailed and informative explanation for the different types of anti-depressants! As a patient who have taken a few types of antidepressants and experienced many different kinds of bad side effects, I truly agree that a proper clinical assessment needs to be assessed and understand appropriately before prescribing a specific type to the patient. Otherwise the patient will be suffering from the medication instead of helping them to be better.

Made some very interesting points, BDNF, Astrocytes, Why are we still focusing on Monoamine hypothesis for depression. Let's start to put more emphasis on Glutamate based intervention to treating depression. That's should be the new model of care. SNRI, SSRI and the rest DON'T work.

There are multiple mechanisms now and they are converging. Neurosteroids, glutamate based, gut brain modulation. Dopaminergic, serotonergic and not adrenergic aspects still play a crucial part but they are moving towards more selective receptor modulation rather than general aspects like ssri. E.g vortioxetine as a new multimodal mechanism of action.

There is no way to measure this in routine clinical practice. In research binding of receptors etc can be carried out by specialised scans. So the way this is evaluated is by clinical response.

Great video. For several years now adderall hasn’t worked as effectively as it once did for me for adhd. We’ve tried all sorts of medications. Guanfacine, Concerta, etc. None worked. He also tried Zoloft, Luvox And Trintellix. Zoloft and Luvox gave me sexual dysfunction and fatigue and they didn’t work. Trintellix I had no side effects, it just didn’t work. Adderall worked so well back in 2015 when I started it and worked for several years. It’s faxed somewhat in recent years so we’ve tried everything with it. Also took a week break. Strangely I had zero withdrawal. I’ve been quite frustrated as it seems I’m never as productive as I once was and my mood has suffered too from this. Extreme frustration basically. 10 days ago we started Wellbutrin and it seems to be having the biggest effect of any drug since adderall. I’m currently taking Vyvanse 70 mg in the morning and an adderall booster 20 mg later in the day. My theory is that my brain had gotten so use to adderall and dopamine release that it was swallowing up the extra dopamine very quickly before I could utilize it. Correct me if I’m wrong but it would seem I’m the perfect candidate for Wellbutrin as doesn’t it help the dopamine stay around longer? It seems instead of serotonin not hanging in the synapse maybe for me it was dopamine and this is what Wellbutrin does? If brain plowing through it the adderall wouldn’t be as effective so need a muffler like Wellbutrin to keep it around in the synapse . Much like the ssri’s do with serotonin. Is this accurate? I’m 10 days into taking Wellbutrin and it seems to be working.

Great video! I have a question tough. You said that for chronic pain it is needed more than 60 mg of Duloxetine, but I thought that there is no evidence that more than 60 mg of Cymbalta is more effective. It is therapeutic dose for fibromyalgia. I have chronic pain & low motivation so your answer would be very useful to me.
@PsychiatrySimplified
@PsychiatrySimplified 2 жыл бұрын
For pain and particularly in fibromyalgia the key neurotransmitter that we are trying to target with Duloxetine is NA - at 60 mg there is a bit of NART inhibition with much greater SERT ( serotonin ) inhibition but higher doses needed to get a more potent NA increase. This is also seen clinically. Here is what 2001 nature study in healthy volunteers showed - the present study has demonstrated that duloxetine acts as a selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor in non-depressed human male volunteers, and that, at doses up to 60 mg/day, it failed to inhibit the tyramine pressor response, as would be otherwise expected of a NE reuptake blocker. The possibility therefore remains that a dose of duloxetine of 60 mg/day may represent the threshold for NE reuptake blockade. ( Turcotte, J., Debonnel, G., de Montigny, C. et al. Assessment of the Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Blocking Properties of Duloxetine in Healthy Subjects. Neuropsychopharmacol 24, 511-521 (2001). Ps not medical advice

We can't provide advice but in such cases one may not need to switch completely but rather consider an augnetstion strategy. E.g reduce dose of agent causing SE but not stop ( SSRI withdrawals occur most at lower dose drops) AND add new agent to target illness Sx and reduce side effects of 1 St AD. Serotonergic agents should not be combined. This can be done with an experienced psychiatrist. Ps not advice

Thank you for your feedback. With insomnia ( I have done a video on neurobiology of insomnia - that should help understand the various pathways involved) - also will release another one soon. But when it comes to insomnia - there are so many variables to take into account. I'll summarise it here briefly. In order to fall asleep we have a circadian part and a homeostatic part. Circadian is where melatonin increases naturally at night and dopamine goes down. Homeostatic is where adenosine builds up as a sleep pressure and then puts us into the first stages of sleep. Initial states of nrem sleep - gaba is released to shut all neurotransmitters that are activating - DA, NA, histamine, ach and orexin. So at this stage antihistamines ( zopiclone works through gaba and reduces histamine), Mirtazapine is antihistaminergic at low doses, benzo ( gaba release ) , clonidine ( reduce NA) help. Then comes rem sleep - here dopamine is present and necessary ; but if individuals dream too much or are active ( superficial sleep) or move about etc - then NA is usually the reason or in severe rem sleep movement it's due to dopamine dysregulation. So clonidine promotes Nrem sleep Rx vivid dreams and nightmares. Prazosin also does this. in depression - rem sleep increases. Nrem decreases. And sleep is not restful. Here depression should be Rx. Early morning awakening is usually a clue towards agitation ( as part of depression) - wake early and are very wired. here Rx of agitation may be necessary. as part of sleep also it is important to build day time activity to remove too much adenosine during day. Activity converts adenosine to atp for energy. Orexin and dopamine are needed during day. So sunlight hits retinal cells and dopamine is released and melatonin is shut - then it reverses later in evening. This is a rhythm that is necessary. Also other sleep breathing disorders should be ruled out. Like obstructive sleep apnea. As you can see there is no single answer. It depends on the symptoms and the specifics of insomnia. Is it early insomnia ( difficulty falling asleep), middle ( waking up, nightmares, etc), early morning etc. Are there racing thoughts during day. what is mood like? What is activity and motivation like etc etc? Sorry it's not an easy answer.

Thank you for your feedback. We have done another video on antidepressant withdrawal - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6i6dHWGiM9qkKM this can be persistent in some individuals - however, in such cases, the mechanism may be linked to a different process - in paraesthesias - ruling out Vit B 12 , folate def, and ruling out a mixed state, agitation, insomnia becomes important. in some individuals, the withdrawal can trigger off amygdala activation so using mood stabilisers, and alpha2 agonists (e.g clonidine video done) may help. This however requires a detailed evaluation. PS not medical advice. Wish you well.

@PsychiatrySimplified
@PsychiatrySimplified 2 жыл бұрын
Very important to delve into the details of the studies. Depression is an heterogenous entity. Here is from the latest study - “Patients with depression are likely to improve substantially from acute treatment of their depression with drug or placebo. Although the mean effect of antidepressants is only a small improvement over placebo, the effect of active drug seems to increase the probability that any patient will benefit substantially from treatment by about 15%. Further research is needed to identify the subset of patients who are likely to require antidepressants for substantial improvement. “ this 15% is a number needed to Treat of 7 which is good. Important to recognise however that patients with more severe forms of depressions - melancholic / psychotic are excluded from many of these trials ; these are patients where the response is even higher. Therefore it’s important to recognise and target appropriate Rx to the different types of depressions. Some may not need or have minimal response to medications and may need psychological Rx over medication. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your question.

It's not unique to psychiatry. Most drug discoveries have been serendipitous. Viagra was initially developed for cardiovascular issues. Recently the trkb receptor was discovered which likely mediates downstream effects of ADs. Fluvoxamine for example has shown anti infective / immunomodulatory properties in Covid. So there is a lot we don't know. Fair to say we gave theories based on evidence but the exact mechanisms may be unknown. And that is also because the precise mechanism of disorders like depression are unknown.

@@paulgianni Also, for SSRIs, in particular, they're sort of a happy accident. Invented in the 1970s, they were used when medicine believed that serotonin deficiency was the sole cause of depression in the brain and they worked to alleviate symptoms in many patients so there was little reason to doubt that belief. However, as we learned more about both the causes of depression itself as well as the way SSRIs interact with the brain, we started to notice inconsistencies. For example, while serotonin levels increased in many cases 1 hour after the first dose, patients did not start to see real improvement until after using the drugs for about 4 weeks. Obviously, if the efficacy of the drugs were solely dependent on increasing seratonin levels, we'd see results much sooner. The drugs were still working but we began to realize that the increased serotonin was only a piece of the puzzle as to why. I hope that example helps. :)

very interesting. been on many different meds and by far the most helpful one was Fluoxetine. still very depressed tho. before that I was on Milnacipran and many others but none seem to really work except Temgicoluril to help with anxiety and Fluoxetine.

Thank you for the next post. I wanted to get advise from you, because doctors are still prescribing new drugs that work differently. I mainly treat anxiety disorders and am addicted to Zolpidem. { can take 400mg/ day] By now the anxiety had been successfully reduced by Duloxetine, but it had awakened me at night. The doctor prescribed me Brintellix, I’d like to ask your opinion that this drug can reduce the arousal and anxiety, as duloxetine did. should l Try to stay with Brintellix? doktor suggestet added Agometaline, to help resolve my problems with sleep. Please give me advise with in what direction to go. Many thanks. Peter

We can’t provide specific medical advice. However in this video we have covered both brintellix ( vortioxetine) and agomelatine both agents which are evidence based for treating anxiety and have good tolerability profiles. We wish you well.
