SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors)

SNRIs, or Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors, are a type of medication commonly used to treat depression and anxiety. They work by increasing the levels of two important neurotransmitters in the brain: serotonin and norepinephrine. By preventing these substances from being reabsorbed too quickly, SNRIs help enhance mood, improve emotional balance, and reduce feelings of anxiety. This class of medication is often prescribed when other treatments are ineffective or when patients experience symptoms that affect their daily lives. Common examples include venlafaxine and duloxetine.
