SNRI Mnemonics:
Le^ Vo~ feels so Dull
that that he decided to ride high-speed (HTN) on his Vespa
"The SNRIs also have an important role
as second-line agents in patients who have not responded to SSRIs. Safety,
tolerability, and side-effect profiles are similar to those of the SSRIs, with
the exception that venlafaxine and desvenlafaxine have been associated (rarely)
with a sustained rise in blood pressure." (medscape)
