What neurotransmitter does Zoloft affect?
The exact mechanism of Zoloft is unknown, but it is believed to increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by limiting its reabsorption into the presynaptic cell.
Can you mix phentermine 37.5mg and venlafaxine 75mg and what are the risks?
A very dangerous combination. Since both drugs are known to increase serotonin levels, you could end up with a very fatal condition called serotonin syndrome. This holds true for "any" combination of drugs that can ultimately increase serotonin levels. Phentermine and Venlafaxine are both high risks drugs to combine.

How does exercise stimulate serotonin?
There are two effects. The first is an increase in circulation results in an increase of metabolism. Especially the short term reactions. These include serotonin. An increased heart rate adds to this effect. Because serotonin is such a powerful neurotransmitter, its levels take a while to return to normal, thus the "feeling good" afterwards since other metabolic processes are slowing down, yet you still have a high supply of serotonin. Intense periodic exercise (even just 30 minutes a day), causes the brain to become "used" to serotonin, thus producing more serotonin receptors on the neurons to counter the "addiction". Thus, periodically raising your temporal serotonin levels through daily exercise, results an increase in "happiness" (although this evens out eventually), and a mild "depression" (caused by addiction to your own brain chemical) when you miss a few exercise sessions in a row. People who train often can attest to this.
