> > I try to understand neurotransmittors but I am pretty lost at the ground floor when I hear you guys saying "dopaminergic" or "noradrenergic" or "agonist." Is there a good place I can go to learn the basics? I understand the basic synapse concept and that there are various discovered and undiscovered receptors but that's as far as I have gotten and all literature seems to be for the totally ignorant or the people who have gotten past lesson one. Any refernces would be appreciated as well as any insight into my question above about depression, and panic."Essential Psychopharmacology of Depression & Bipolar Disorder" by Stephen M. Stahl is a good place to start; it contains plenty of explanatory diagrams.
Also look @ "MedTerms.com" for a v. comprehensive glossary.
