> Ace.zyprexa is a serotonin 2A antagonist which makes it a serotonin agonist
i.e. when serotonin is blocked from binding to the 2A receptors, there is more available in the synaptic cleft to bind to receptors that don't suck (2A sucks)
where the definition of suck is - causes sexual dysfunction, anxiety, hallucinations, nausea and so forth
i think 5ht2a receptors are the crappiest serotonin receptors
i think 5ht1a post-synaptic receptors are the coolest receptorsComments?
