GABAB agonist; GHB receptor agonist (1) ·
Irreversible non-selective MAO inhibitor (3) ·
Melatonin receptor agonist (2) ·
Melatonin receptor agonist; 5-HT2C antagonist (1) ·
Mu-opioid agonist; modulates glutamate AMPA receptors (1) ·
Positive allosteric modulator of the GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor at the benzodiazepine binding site; increases frequency of Cl<sup>−</sup> channel opening, producing anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and skeletal-muscle relaxant effects. (1) ·
Potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor; also NRI (1) ·
Reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (1) ·
Selective GABAA agonist (extrasynaptic delta subunit) (1) ·
Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (3) ·
Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (3) ·
Serotonin reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT2A antagonist (1) ·

TrkB/BDNF'"`UNIQ--ref-00000084-QINU`"' '"`UNIQ--vote-00000085-QINU`"' (1) ·
Weak SRI; primarily H1/D2/alpha antagonist (1)
uses:
starting dose:
preparations:
None (47) ·
25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg tablets; oral concentrate 20 mg/mL (1) ·
Illicit tablets ("bars"), powders, blotter, occasionally solutions. No pharmaceutical product exists. (1) ·
Lithium carbonate: immediate-release capsules (150 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg) and tablets (300 mg); extended-release tablets (300 mg, 450 mg). Lithium citrate: oral solution (8 mEq/5 mL, equivalent to 300 mg lithium carbonate per 5 mL) for patients unable to swallow tablets. (1)
fda max:
None (47) ·
200 mg/d (1) ·
N/A (never approved) (1) ·
No defined absolute maximum; dosing is guided by serum level monitoring. Levels above 1.5 mEq/L carry increasing toxicity risk. Levels consistently above 1.2 mEq/L are generally not maintained in clinical practice.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000052-QINU`"' (1)
onset:
None (46) ·
Antimanic effects begin within 5-7 days of reaching therapeutic serum levels, with full response often requiring 2-3 weeks. For acute mania, a neuroleptic is typically added for rapid sedation while lithium takes effect.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000053-QINU`"' (1) ·
Anxiolysis classically 3-4 weeks, continuing improvement to 8-12 weeks (1) ·
Mood: 2–4 weeks. Pain: often within 1–2 weeks. (1) ·
~20–40 min PO; faster sublingual/intranasal. (1)
duration:
halflife:
None (46) ·
Approximately 18-24 hours after acute administration; may extend to 36-48 hours with chronic dosing as tissue compartments equilibrate. Serum trough levels should be drawn 12 hours after the last dose for accurate interpretation.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000055-QINU`"' (1) ·
Estimated ~12–17 h (some sources cite up to ~21 h); active metabolites prolong effect. (1) ·
~12 hours (1) ·
~26 h (sertraline; range 13-45 h, longer in females); ~62-104 h (N-desmethylsertraline, weakly active) (1)
