anxiety
describe what occurs,receptors SSRI tx |
low serotoin so post synaptic term upreg, but once a surge occurs of serotonin too much rushes in cause of all the open doors
SSRIs will increast amt of fee serotonin to slowly downreg post synaptic channels |
|
SSRIS in anxiety do what short term
|
will accutally increase anxiety-so start low and go slow but eventually be a higher dose than depression(8-12wks)
