Match the following medications with their mode of action:

SSRIs = Inhibits the reuptake of 5HT2 (serotonin) SNRIs = Inhibits the reuptake of 5HT2 (serotonin) and NA (noradrenaline) TCAs = Inhibits the reuptake of 5HT2 (serotonin), NA (noradrenaline), and DA (dopamine) MOA-Is = Inhibits, non-selectively and irreversibly, 5HT2 (serotonin), DA (dopamine), NA (noradrenaline), and Adrenaline

Match the following medications with their cautions:
