RESUMEN
La depresión es un trastorno mental que afecta a 3.7 % de la población. Los antidepresivos inhibidores selectivos de la recaptura de serotonina (ISRS) resultan útiles en el tratamiento de éste y otros trastornos mentales. El citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetina, fluvoxamina, paroxetina y sertralina constituyen este grupo de fácil administración y con un amplio perfil de seguridad.
Objetivos: 1) Establecer las indicaciones actuales de los antidepresivos ISRS. 2) Describir los mecanismos que explican su acción antidepresiva. 3) Describir los efectos secundarios frecuentes y aquéllos específicamente relacionados con este grupo antidepresivo.
Resultados: Los antidepresivos ISRS son el tratamiento de elección para la depresión, los trastornos de angustia, de ansiedad generalizada, obsesivo-compulsivo, de estrés postraumático, disfórico premenstrual y la bulimia nervosa. Los pacientes deprimidos muestran una actividad menor a la normal del neurotransmisor serotonina. La inhibición de la recaptura de la serotonina sobre los receptores serotoninérgicos presinápticos 5HT1A, 5HT2C y 5HT3C aumenta la neurotransmisión en este sistema. La desensibilización de los autorreceptores 5HT1A y la regulación hacia abajo (
downregulation) de los receptores 5HT2 acoplados a la proteína G, efecto tardío de los ISRS, dan por resultado la mejoría de los síntomas depresivos. El mecanismo que explica el efecto antidepresivo relativamente tardío parece ser distinto al efecto serotoninérgico agudo y rápido responsable de la mejoría en el caso del trastorno disfórico premenstrual. Estos antidepresivos, como los estabilizadores del ánimo y la terapia electroconvulsiva, incrementan los niveles séricos del factor de crecimiento neuronal cerebral, así como de otros factores neurotróficos. Aunque las dosis de los ISRS son variables, en la mayoría de los casos es posible iniciar el tratamiento antidepresivo con dosis terapéuticas e incrementarlas paulatinamente hasta las dosis máximas con seguridad. Sus efectos secundarios más frecuentes son gastrointestinales, en la respuesta sexual y sobre la densidad ósea. Los efectos secundarios específicamente relacionados con el uso de estos antidepresivos son: 1. El síndrome serotoninérgico, caracterizado por cambios en el estado mental, hiperactividad autonómica y anomalías neuromusculares. 2. El síndrome de secreción inapropiada de hormona antidiurética, que se caracteriza por osmolaridad sérica alta, urinaria baja e hiponatremia, así como por mialgias, letargo, cefalea e incluso confusión, convulsiones y coma. 3. El sangrado, principalmente de tubo digestivo y cutáneo. El uso de los ISRS aumenta el riesgo de sangrar entre dos y cuatro veces. Cuando el paciente usa aspirina, el riesgo aumenta hasta siete veces y con el uso concomitante de antiinflamatorios, cerca de 16 veces. La edad, el antecedente de sangrado y la capacidad de inhibir la recaptura constituyen también factores de riesgo. 4. El síndrome de descontinuación, menor con la fluoxetina, mayor con la paroxetina y sertralina, aparece a partir del segundo día y su duración es de dos semanas. Manifestaciones como náusea, cefalea, parestesias, congestión nasal y malestar general se deben a la disminución de los niveles de serotonina en la sinapsis. 5. Los efectos sobre el producto cuando los ISRS se utilizan durante la gestación consisten en malformaciones congénitas específicas. La sertralina se ha asociado a onfalocele, defectos del septum cardíaco y anencefalia. A su vez, la fluoxetina se ha asociado a craneosinostosis y defectos cardíacos. Y la paroxetina a defectos cardíacos, gastrosquisis, defectos del tubo neural y también a onfalocele y anencefalia. Su uso también aumenta la tasa de abortos espontáneos hasta 1.45 veces, parto prematuro y bajo peso al nacer, problemas en el neonato inmediato (problemas respiratorios e hipotonía), hipoglucemia, cianosis, inquietud, convulsiones y Apgar bajo. Su uso durante el tercer trimestre puede ocasionar hipertensión pulmonar persistente que, aunque es rara, se asocia a una mortalidad de 10- 20 %. 6) De los efectos por el uso de ISRS durante la lactancia se conoce poco. En el caso de la sertralina y la paroxetina no se detectan estos antidepresivos en el suero del niño; en cambio, los niveles séricos de citalopram fueron de 1.9 nmol/L, de fluoxetina 47 nmol/L y de venlafaxina de 91 nmol/L. En los estudios disponibles no se observaron efectos conductuales o en el desarrollo del recién nacido. 7) Suicidalidad o riego suicida. Aunque el tratamiento antidepresivo disminuye tanto la ideación y la frecuencia de suicidios en los pacientes tratados, la FDA ha establecido una serie de recomendaciones para el manejo de pacientes que inician el tratamiento con antidepresivos ISRS: Iniciar con la dosis más baja, citar semanalmente a los pacientes durante 6 semanas consecutivas, recomendar y facilitar el contacto telefónico, prohibir el uso de alcohol y drogas, interrogar en cada ocasión sobre pensamientos y comportamientos suicidas o autolesivos, documentar en el expediente la información y usar psicoterapia de apoyo, cognitivo-conductual o interpersonal en el tratamiento.
