Penggantian (switching) dari satu obat antidepresan ke antidepresan lainnya umum dilakukan pada praktik sehari-hari sehingga klinisi harus memahami bagaimana cara mengganti antidepresan secara aman.
Prognosis dari suatu gangguan seperti depresi dan depresi post partum dapat dipengaruhi oleh ketepatan dan efektivitas terapi. Respons terapi merupakan salah satu parameter terhadap efektivitas terapi antidepresan dan indikator penerusan ataupun penggantian (switching) antidepresan dalam kelas yang sama maupun kelas yang berbeda.[1–4]
Saat ini terdapat beberapa kelas antidepresan, seperti Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI), Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA), Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRI), Serotonin Partial Agonist/Reuptake Inhibitors (SARIs), Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs), Noradrenaline and specific Serotonergic Antidepressants (NASSA), Agomelatine, dan Vortioxetine (Serotonin Modulator).[1,3–6]
