What types of neurotransmitters do antidepressants target?
There are three very important neurotransmitters in the brain that antidepressant medications focus on. Firstly, let me briefly review antidepressant medications. Antidepressants are medications that work by increasing the amounts of chemicals or neuro-transmitters in the brain. A very common antidepressant of today is known as Prozac or Fluoxetine (the trade name). Prozac works by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain.Now, the three neurotransmitters in the brain are:1.) Serotonin2.) Norepinephrine3.) DopamineAll three of these chemicals have some influence on depression. As a result, medications have been designed to work on increasing the above neurotransmitters. For example, Prozac works on serotonin and Cymbolta works on both serotonin and norepinephrine. Serotonin is the most researched neurotransmitter so far, but research is looking into how norepinephine and dopamine also influence depression. Another neurotransmitter in the brain that has an influence over depression is aceytlcholine.
What is the process of producing too much insulin called?
Hypogylcemia and its effects on the brain.
Where will the brain send nerve impulses or hormones if the blood flowing through it has too much water?
No
What are the main chemicals found in the brain?
Diemethltriptamine dopeamine seratonin melatonin and neuro transmitters
Can luvox and Prozac be taken together?
This could lead to Serotonin Syndrome, where you have too much serotonin in your brain. This can lead to serious side effects, hospitalization, and even death.
What are the ide effects from taking tramadol and Zoloft at the same time?
Zoloft is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Tramadol is a painkiller with SNRI (serotonin and noadrenalin reuptake inhibitor) properties. This means that both Zoloft and tramadol have an effect on the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. This can result in too much serotonin in the brain. This is called Serotonin Syndrom, a very dangerous condition. Never mix multiple drugs that affect serotonin.
Can taking Zoloft cause you to get too much serotonin?
Yes it can cause a rare but serious syndrome that can be fatal.
What condition could be the results of too little or much too much serotonin?
depression
What will too much serotonin cause?
I am assuming you are referring to the use of ecstasy (MDMA) which releases serotonin and is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). You will feel awesomely happy and empathetic with other people but if this is done too much you will become intellectually slow (e-tard). I'm not sure the mechanism of this retardation because it hasn't been extensively studied but its effects can be seen at any rave. I think it has to do with serotonin toxicity and probably at too high of levels will kill brain cells. Not sure about that though.
What condition could be the result of too little or too much serotonin?
depression
Which antidepressant drug elevates serotonin levels in the brain?
pretty much all of them, except for Wellbutrin
What condition could be the result of too little or to much serotonin?
depression
What hormone produces the brain?
dopamine and serotonin are some brain homones
How does too much serotonin affect the body?

Is Serotonin Syndrome the same as getting high?
Not at all, being high is a nice little feeling while serotonin syndrome is a drug reaction that causes the body to have too much serotonin. Serotonin syndrome can also be life threatening.
What chemicals increase dopamine in the brain?
serotonin
