> What does SSRI and SNRI stand for and what in the heck do they mean?
SSRI = Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
(Blocks reuptake of serotonin between nerve cells; in essence, prolonging the action of serotonin - like adding serotonin between nerve cells)SNRI = Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor
(Same as above, just substitute norepinephrine for serotonin)- Cam
