What is an acronym for SSRI?
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Amitryptiline is a tricyclic antidepressant not a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
What neurotransmitter does a SNRI 'Serotonin Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor' drug work on?
The S stands for serotonin and the N stands for norepinephrine and RI stands for reuptake inhibitor. So, obviously these drugs are supposed to work on both serotonin and norepinephrine. However, some literature uses SNRI to mean Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor, and this will work better on norepinephrine. Then you have the SSRI which is Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, which works better on serotonin.
