> Now the question....if someone were to take Remeron AND Zoloft together.......if Remeron is an ANTAGONIST of different 5-HT receptors and Zoloft is a 5-HT inhibitor, would the two meds be CANCELLING each other out at these sites (thereby producing little good effects)? THANKS!
the serotonin unable to bind with 5ht2a, 5ht2c, 5ht3 would just bind with other receptors .. so of course it will exert an effectdon't forget that remeron also has a 5ht and NE reuptake inhibition
