The SSRI class is neither antagonist nor agonist. They are re-uptake inhibitors.
To the extent of my knowledge (I am NOT a doctor), a serotonin:
agonist enhances production of sertonin at the source neuron,
antagonists blocks binding of serotonin to the target neuron effectively blinding it,
re-uptake inhibitors block the destruction of serotonin, effectively letting it act for longer.

What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
Agonist and antagonist of lateral dumbell raise?
agonist : trapizius antagonist: latissimus dorsi
WHAT IS antagonistic activity?
Antagonist activity is the activity that is counter to the agonist or it can be viewed as an inhibitory activity. If pharmacology, the antagonist does not have any activity, but it blocks or inhibits the activity of the agonist.
What is the agonist and antagonist muscle pair in the wrist?
the wrist flexors and wrist extensors
Is pilocarpine an antagonist or an agonist?
Pilocarpine is actually a Muscarinic cholinergic receptor (mAChR) agonist. It works on the Parasypathetic nervous system; therefore, it makes sense that the agonist working on the PNS would result in decreased heart rate. Atropine, in contrast, is an muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist and will lead to increased heart rate due to the lowered effect of the parasympathetic system on the heart.
The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to do what?
An agonist stimulates the receptor, whereas an antagonist blocks a receptor.
What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
A drug that mimics the effects of a particular neurotransmitter or blocks its reuptake is called?
an antagonist
Is Pheniramine an agonist or partialagonist or antagonist?

Agonist and antagonist of lateral dumbell raise?
agonist : trapizius antagonist: latissimus dorsi
Difference between agonist and antagonist?
Agonist works with the muscles, and the antagonist is the muscle working against it in a contraction. i.e. Bicep curl, the agonist is the Biceps brachii and the antagonist muscle is the triceps brachii.The word agonist means "producing an action" - an antagonist opposes that action. In medicine, an agonist binds to a receptor site and causes a response, often imitating the natural body reaction. An antagonist acts against this drug and blocks the response. for examples ramiels small balls and pubic hair
The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to?
An agonist binds to a receptor and stimulates it (turns it on). An antagonist binds to a receptor and blocks it from being activated by other molecules (turns it off).
Which opioid is classified as a partial agonist antagonist?
The Buprenorphine opioid is classified as a partial agonist antagonist.
