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.
