Prozac, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), primarily affects the synapse by increasing the availability of serotonin in the synaptic cleft. It does this by blocking the serotonin transporter (SERT), which normally reabsorbs serotonin back into the presynaptic neuron after its release. As a result, more serotonin remains in the synaptic space, enhancing neurotransmission and contributing to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. This action helps to rebalance serotonin levels, which are often disrupted in individuals with mood disorders.
What else can I help you with?
Does Prozac produce a narcotic effect?
no.
What is the action of Prozac in the central nervous system?
Prozac is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) & acts to keep serotonin in the synapse (space between neurons). This is accomplished by inhibiting the normal process of extracting serotonin from the synapse by a process called reuptake. Keeping serotonin in the synapse longer causes the serotonergic neruons to be more effective.
Does Prozac make Xanax stronger?
Prozac is an SSRI, a specific serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Xanax is a sedative. Prozac works by slowing the breakdown of serotonin, therefore increasing the quantity in the synapse and your brain. Xanax works by slowing down the nerve impulses (I think). One doesn't make the other stronger, but prozac might get metabolized first by the liver, causing an increase in blood xanax levels. Talk to your pharmacist.
Do antidepressents like prozac drugs alcohol or anything else have any affect on the pill also when does it start working as a contraceptive?
Yes, alcohol may effect you if you are taking prozac. Prozac is not a contraceptive and will never prevent pregnancy.
What is one common side effect of Prozac?
Nausea, I've had a lot of that, and headaches.
Can Prozac effect your monthly cycle?
SSRI meds may lead to increased bleeding.
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
Can you take trazodone while taking Prozac?
Yes, if both are prescribed for you, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. To get the "sleeping" effect of trazodone, without interfering with prozac antidepressant effect, the trazodone dosage should be around 25mg to 100mg.
Is mood change a side effect of Prozac?
I recommend learning the English language and trying again.
Side effect of Wellbutrin and Adderall?
what mood stabilizer can i take with prozac, wellbutrin,adderall and xanax?
How does nicotine effect cells?
Nicotine is a Sympathetic drug when it acts on synapse it has its Sympathomimetic action and it activates the neurons.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
