Hello, my name is Said Jamal and I am depression and anxiety treatment expert. I'v created this blog in order to share my experience and knowledge about usage of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for treatment of depression and anxiety disorders.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor[1] (SSRIs) are a class of compounds typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and some personality disorders. They are also typically effective and used in treating premature ejaculation problems as well as some cases of insomnia.
Drugs in this class include (trade names in parentheses):
- citalopram (Celexa, Cipramil, Cipram, Dalsan, Recital, Emocal, Sepram, Seropram, Citox)
- escitalopram (Lexapro, Cipralex, Esertia)
- fluoxetine (Prozac, Fontex, Seromex, Seronil, Sarafem, Ladose, Fluctin (EUR), Fluox (NZ), Depress (UZB), Lovan (AUS))
- fluvoxamine (Luvox, Fevarin, Faverin, Dumyrox, Favoxil, Movox)
- indalpine (Upstene) (discontinued)
- paroxetine (Paxil, Seroxat, Sereupin, Aropax, Deroxat, Divarius, Rexetin, Xetanor, Paroxat, Loxamine)
- sertraline (Zoloft, Lustral, Serlain)
- zimelidine (Zelmid, Normud) (discontinued)
At my blog, I am going to make a detailed analysis of each of this medication usage in depression and anxiety treatment, their benefits and disadvantages, side effects and how they actually work.
