5-ht1a agonists are have been touted "serenics".
If you take an SSRI, and you co-administer a 5-ht1a antagonist, you automatically eliminate the antidepressant and anxioloitic properties. In addition you eliminate the neurotrophic effects of the SSRI.
A lot of medicinal herbs, like dong quai, and black co-hosh, SJW, ginkgo, even marajuanna act as 5-ht1a agonists, and may derive some of their theraputic effects from it.
I think that if we had a really potent, and selective 5-ht1a agonist, we might be able to improve certain aspects of the disorder.
