Oops. In case anyone here is paying close attention to details, in the
case of paroxetine I meant "transporter" rather than "receptor."
Paroxetine (Paxil) is an SSRI similar to fluoxetine (Prozac). These
molecules occupy serotonin transporters, blocking re-uptake of serotonin
from the synapse.
However I believe LSD does act as an agonist at serotonin receptors.
