Why Do SSRI'S Inhibit Serotonin?

Posted by Alice on February 10, 2000, at 0:45:14

This may sound like a stupid question, but could someone please explain to me why SSRI's (for example, I take Prozac) inhibit the reuptake of serotonin? Isn't serotonin what makes you happy? So why do these drugs "inhibit" the brain's serotonin?? Thanx!!!
