In reply to Would a 5ht1a Full Agonist VS Partial Agonist, posted by Hello321 on August 19, 2015, at 13:58:10
> You might have heard on the news about the new pill, Fkibanserin, that was just approved for female sexual dysfunction. Ive read about how it works as a full agonist at the 5ht1a postsynaptic receptor, unlike mood meds like Buspar and Viibryd that work as a partial agonist at it. Flibanserin was actually intended to be a depression med when its development first began, but eventually switched to bbeing developed for sex problems. It works on the same receptors that mood meds target.

> Anyway, might a full agonist be better for mood problems than the partial agonists we have today? Might it actually be better for anxiety than Buspar?I believe Brintellix (vortioxetine) is closer to being a full agonist than a partial agonist.
