Serotonin Selective Reuptake

Selective seratonin re-uptake inhibitor

An antidepressant medication that typically decreases anxiety as well as depression (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil).

Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor

an antidepressant drug that acts by blocking the reuptake of serotonin so that more serotonin is available to act on receptors in the brain

elective erotonin euptake nhibitors - A class of drugs used to treat depression.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. drug that inhibits recapture of serotonin by nerve cells.

Abbreviation for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, commonly prescribed drugs for treating depression . SSRIs affect the chemicals that nerves in the brain use to send messages to one another. These chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters, are released by one nerve and taken up by other nerves. Neurotransmitters that are not taken up by other nerves are taken up by the same nerves that released them. This process is termed "reuptake." SSRIs work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, an action which allows more serotonin to be available to be taken up by other nerves. See the entire definition of SSRI

Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A drug that blocks the removal of serotonin from the synapse; thereby prolonging and increasing the effects of serotonin.

Acronym for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. It is a class of drugs, such as fluoxetine or sertraline, that inhibit the uptake of serotonin by neurons of the central nervous system and are primarily used in the treatment of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as BDD

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A class of antidepressants (as fluoxetine or sertraline) that inhibit the inactivation of serotonin by blocking its reuptake by presynaptic nerve cell endings.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The long- term medication used for anxiety disorder.

Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitor - usually these medications are antidepressants, like paxil or prozac. Technically, an SSRI is a seretonin reuptake receptor antagonist. The reuptake receptors recognize the presence of seretonin and remove it from the interstitial space between neurons; the SSRI blocks, or antagonizes, this receptor, thereby preventing seretonin from being removed. Thus seretonin remains in system for a longer period of time, and can thereby work longer.

A type of antidepressant.

(abbr.) Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A class of antidepressant medications.

Serotonin Selective Re–uptake Inhibitors are a group of anti–depressant drugs; Prozac is an example

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. These are medications, such as zoloft and prozac, which may be used to reduce anxiety (a common issue among autistic children). Some research suggests that SSRI’s may not be safe for pre-adolescent children.

(see Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor)

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. a class of drugs which work by preventing the movement of the neurohormone Serotonin into nerve endings thus forcing the Serotonin to remain actively working. SSRIs include Prozac ( fluoxetine), Luvoxx ( fluvoxamine), Zoloft ( sertraline), Paxil ( paroxetine) and Celexa (citalopram).

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. A class of antidepressant medications often given to new mothers suffering from postpartum depression.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. A class of antidepressant medications that is primarily used in the treatment of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. The emergence of clinical evidence demonstrating the benefits of appropriate psychotropic medications has increased pressure on corrections systems to ensure appropriate availability of these medications.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. A type of drug that is used to treat depression. SSRIs slow the process by which serotonin is reused by nerve cells that make it. SSRIs inhibit the natural recycling of serotonin, redirecting it to other uses, and thereby depleting the body of this essential neurotransmitter. Use of SSRIs cause a deficiency that creates an array of side effects that could be avoided by using natural supplements instead of drugs. See 5HTP or Mood Sync.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a class of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs that act by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain's nerve connections.

A class of antidepressants (such as fluoxetine or sertraline) that block the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin by neurons.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. a family of drugs that blocks the re-uptake of 5HT, allowing it to remain longer in the synapse. SSRIs are the most commonly used drugs to treat depression and may be neuroprotective.
