Serotonin. A serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) by blocking the action of the serotonin transporter (SERT).
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors block the reuptake of serotonin, changing the level of serotonin in the brain. A serotonin balance is reached between
How the Drug Works Boosts neurotransmitter serotonin Blocks serotonin reuptake pump (serotonin transporter) Desensitizes serotonin receptors, especially
These drugs block the reuptake (removal) of serotonin, which keeps the level SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
Escitalopram blocks the reuptake of serotonin at the serotonin reuptake pump of the neuronal membrane, enhancing the actions of serotonin on 5HT
As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), fluoxetine blocks serotonin's reabsorption, or reuptake, in the brain. This increases
A SSRI is a drug that blocks the reuptake of serotonin on the pre-synaptic neuron. This causes an increase in the amount of serotonin in the
Serotonin antagonists and reuptake inhibitors (SARIs): This class of drugs works in two ways: First, by blocking serotonin reuptake. The second is to prevent
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): These medications block the reuptake of serotonin, increasing the levels of serotonin in the

Now the big block V8 was going to come in handy.
