Neurological Medications with antidepressants: interactions

The combination with Neurological Medications (Neurological Medications) is common and, for most antidepressant classes, well tolerated. A few specific combinations require attention because of additive effects or shared metabolic pathways.
Antidepressant interaction landscape
SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs and atypical antidepressants each interact differently. SSRIs are the most commonly co-prescribed and usually have minor or no clinically meaningful interaction with Gabapentin, Lamotrigine, Topiramate at 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 300mg. MAOIs require special caution with many medications. Tricyclics can amplify cardiovascular and sedative effects of some Neurological Medications agents.

Switching antidepressants — particularly to or from MAOIs — usually requires a washout period before resuming Neurological Medications at the standard 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 300mg schedule.
