Depression Treatment FAQs

  • There are five commonly prescribed classes of medications used to treat depression: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).

    RedBox Rx prescribes the following types of depression medications:

    The following are additional kinds of depression medications that RedBox Rx does not prescribe at this time due to legal reasons or concerns about side effects:

    • Tricyclic antidepressants are reuptake inhibitors of serotonin and norepinephrine as well. They block more receptors than SSRIs or SNRIs which can sometimes make them more effective, but can also cause more severe side effects. Common tricyclic antidepressants include:

      • Amitriptyline (Elavil®)

      • Amoxapine (Asendin®)

      • Desipramine (Norpramin®)

      • Doxepin (Sinequan®)

      • Imipramine (Tofranil®)

      • Nortriptyline (Pamelor®)

      • Protriptyline (Vivactil®)

      • Trimipramine (Surmontil®)

    • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) block an enzyme called monoamine oxidase from removing serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine from the brain. These were the first anti-depressants developed, but are not as commonly prescribed today because of dangerous side effects. Common MAOIs include:

      • Isocarboxazid (Marplan®)

      • Phenelzine (Nardil®)

      • Selegiline (Emsam®)

      • Tranylcypromine (Parnate®)
