Need help w/ some TERMINOLOGY (what's new!)

Posted by Janelle on March 30, 2002, at 2:08:56

Okay, I'm confused yet again with some terminology I've read on here!
I thought I knew what *antagonize* meant, but apparently I do not know what this means in pyschiatric context.
So, what does it mean when a med ANTAGONIZES a receptor?
What does it mean when a med is AGONISTIC to a receptor?
Thanks!
