Difference between Amitriptyline and Antipsychotic

Amitriptyline vs. Antipsychotic

Amitriptyline, sold under the brand name Elavil among others, is a medicine primarily used to treat a number of mental illnesses. Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics or major tranquilizers, are a class of medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Similarities between Amitriptyline and Antipsychotic

Amitriptyline and Antipsychotic have 28 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Agranulocytosis, Anxiety disorder, Benzodiazepine, Bipolar disorder, British National Formulary, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, Dopamine, Dopamine receptor D2, Eating disorder, Epileptic seizure, Fluoxetine, Food and Drug Administration, Histamine H1 receptor, Insomnia, Intramuscular injection, Major depressive disorder, Mania, Myocardial infarction, Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, Receptor antagonist, Serotonin, 5-HT1A receptor, 5-HT2A receptor, 5-HT2C receptor, 5-HT7 receptor.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Mania

Mania, also known as manic syndrome, is a state of abnormally elevated arousal, affect, and energy level, or "a state of heightened overall activation with enhanced affective expression together with lability of affect." Although mania is often conceived as a "mirror image" to depression, the heightened mood can be either euphoric or irritable; indeed, as the mania intensifies, irritability can be more pronounced and result in violence, or anxiety.

Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor

A norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI, NERI) or adrenergic reuptake inhibitor (ARI), is a type of drug that acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) by blocking the action of the norepinephrine transporter (NET).
