Bekka,
> Hi Fachad, May I ask where you get those values? Do you look it up online or do you have a psychopharmacology text at home?
>Those values were not easy to find. Most psychopharmacology texts and online resources give values in little "+" or "-" signs, roughly comparative, but not at all quantitative.
The values I get come from journal articles written by a researcher named Elliott Richelson, MD.
He does research on ADs and APs, and publishes receptor affininty data for H1, H2, cholenergic, alpha-1, alpha-2, 5HT subtypes, 5HT reuptake blockade, NE reptake blockade, Dopamaine reuptake, D2 blockade, etc.
He has published dozens of such articles over a span of 20 years in many different medical journals.
I'll start a new thread in a day or two with a beginning bibliography of where to find that stuff.
No single article contains all the data, but the scales used in all of Richelson’s publications are always the same so the data can be collated meaningfully.
Someday, I plan to compile all the data into a comprehensive spreadsheet.
That quantitative data by receptor is really fascinating to me and I've always been frustrated by how difficult it is to get.
