Video - Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors

Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are a class of antidepressant medications used to treat major depressive disorder and other mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. SNRIs work by preventing serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake from the synaptic cleft, thus enhancing the effect of both neurotransmitters on the postsynaptic neuron. SNRIs can cause a few dangerous side effects like increased risk of suicide and life-threatening serotonin syndrome.
