Is there a chart out there anywhere that tells you what the different receptor sites are responsible for? I mean if I look at SLS's chart and see that something is a ACh(m) antagonist, is there somehow I can find out what that means?

You will find at the bottom of the chart the expanded names for the abbreviations and acronyms used. Just click on the * for each drug and it will take you there. You can then hit the back button on your browser to return to your previous location.
The chart, however, this does not explain the significance or function of any of the receptors or neurotransmitters. I know there are some on the Internet, but I can't recall where I have seen them. Many, if not most, of the charts suck. Please post the links to the charts you find most helpful.
I'll tell you who should create a listing of receptor function - Linkadge. I believe he knows more about this than anyone else posting here. It wouldn't have to be in a HTML chart form. His simple listings are valuable enough as is.
HINT!

I agree - we're waiting for that post link!

I've created a list of receptors that are known to be affected by extracellular substances in the brain at http://www.neurotransmitter.net/neurosignaling.html
I also made a list of putative orphan G protein-coupled receptors, which is available at http://www.neurotransmitter.net/gpr.html
Both lists have links to articles. The first was reviewed in Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development 7(5):585-586 (2004).

Ack! Sorry.
Hi Shawn.
I had thought to mention you in my previous post, but I wasn't sure you had actually compiled lists of receptors. It is almost scary to think that so many receptors exist without us having a clue as to what endogenous ligand substances they are meant for.

There ain't no stinkin' chart.
I want one that tells me that if a drug hits the 5ht2a receptor it will cause insomnia, etc.
Just the kind of info Linkadge knows.

www.crazymeds.org, although not complete and certainly not peer-reviewed, has some information.
I've been meaning to take a look at Essential Psychopharmacology at a library or bookstore before buying it. It is considered the seminal treatise on brain function, by Steven Stahl.
