No, LSD binds to other receptor sites besides those for serotonin, including dopamine and adrenergic receptors. Compared to compounds such as psilocybin, it is less selective for the 5-HT2A receptor.

What type of drug is Lexapro?

No, it is an SNRI. SNRIs act to both serotonin and norepinephrine whilst SSRIs only to serotonin. Venlafaxine (Effexor) is thought to be stronger than SSRIs but may have more side effects due to its double action. In doses over 225mg, it has some moderate action to dopamine.


Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?

Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors


How do psychedelic mushrooms affect a menstruating woman?

This strongly depends on the individual concerned. It only affects perception. This may cause any mood possible, since psilocybin constantly attaches to many of the serotonin receptors inside the brain.


Mix hydrocodone and SSRI?

It is perfectly safe to take Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors with hydrocodone. They do not interact or effect one another. SSRI's only affect the serotonin levels in your brain, hydrocodone blocks nerve receptors, which helps with pain. So any SSRI anti-depressant is safe to take with hydrocodone. Edit: I wouldn't say it is perfectly safe. Serotonin Syndrome can happen and isn't something you just brush off


How does lexapro and Wellbutrin work together?

My psychiatrist prescribed both at once.AnswerNo they should not be taken together why not?Cymbalta and Lexapro have SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME mechanism of action [MEANING: these active ingredients illicit the same response and the enzymes attach to the same receptors (receivers) that prevents the serotinin from leaving the brain]. Cymbalta is an SNRI (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) and Lexapro an SSRI (Selective-Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Serotonin is "BELIEVED" (not certain) to lack from people who are clinically depressed and norepi has "significant" correlation with depression as well (LOW NOREPI in the brain results to DEPRESSION). Cymbalta and Lexapro both have positive responses in preventing the escape of SEROTONIN from the brain. The only difference is Cymbalta also inhibits/stops the escape of norepi from the brain and Lexapro ONLY prevents serotonin reuptake (removal from brain receptors). The probability of an overdose from these antidepressants is extremely high and can lead to 'serotonin syndrome; too much serotonin which can be fatal (nausea,coma then death). Because both drugs are preventing serotonin from leaving the brain and therefore an accumulation of serotonin in the brain receptors. Only your MD can determin the OPTIMUM strength (the highest strength of the meds. to achieve therapeutic goals without being toxic) of antidepressants. ALSO, if your MD can justify why he's giving you both meds to the insurance, it will be covered by insurance. This will definitely be reviewed prior to approval of claim. These types of drug interactions alerts your insurance and stops them from paying the claim. You may end up paying for either or both your meds out of pocket.


Is serotonin a catecholamine?

no serotonin is not a catecholamine. Catecholamines are dopamine, epinepherine and norepinepherine.


B adrenergic receptors are the only receptors found on the heart true or false?

False


Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?

It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors


Can heat and cold receptors judge actual temperature?

There are only heat receptors. "Cold" is a low level of heat.


Does epinephrine affect the muscarinic receptors?

No. Muscarinic receptors are affected by acetylcholinergic neurotransmitters (ie. muscarine, atropine). Only the parasympathetic nervous system have muscarinic receptors. Epinephrine affects adrenergic receptors (symapthetic nervous system).


Type blood has B antibodies?

Has no antigen in many textbooks it will state "no A-antigen and no B-antigen"(which imply the possibility of some other antigen) and some will even say, "no antigen" (which is true; antigens are things that attach to antigen binding sites, thus, if it does not fit any antigen binding sites, it is technically not a antigen but merely a "enzyme/protein") but this is just to reduce unnecessary and irrelevant information; they are only concerned about A-antibody, B-antibody, A-antigen, and B-antigen. Nonetheless, know that there are in fact antigens on o blood cells, they are just inactive. My guess is, N acetyl glactosamine on A antigen and Galactose on B antigens are Epitopes (: a small specific regions on antigens that are bound by the antigen receptors on lymphocytes and by secreted antibodies.) Antigens without epitopes will not be detected by antigen binding sites.
