Thanks, Cam for explaining it in a way us "commoners" can understand. But what you described to me STILL sounds a lot like reuptake inhibition.
So now my question becomes what is the difference between an antagonist and a reuptake inhibitor?
Oh, and Medlib, I tried reading that Cam post - I could really understand it. Maybe I should have studied pharmacology instead of music in college. <sigh>
