> I take it that it means k blocks some serotonin sites,but does it actually lower it? I dont understand why some get depressed and others feel better on k? And also why is an ssri is prescribed along w/k if it blocks the uptake?
>If my memory serves me, clonazepam (Klonopin) inhibits the release of serotonin, thus reducing the concentration of this neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. The resulting effects are opposite to that of a SRI.
