Theres more than that too.
5-ht1-7 (I think) with different subtypes for each. These are what has been identified. And they're not sure what they all do. I mean they have some good ideas, but I am guessing a lot is still not concrete.
Medicinal drugs are generally only mild uptake inhibitors (if that). Their actions are more a result of their properties as agonists and antagonists at different receptors. This is why, (for certain individuals), they may do a better job.
A lot of medicinal herbs, ginkgo, SJW, Kava, Dong Quai, Black Cohosh are 5-ht1a agonists. I know SJW has some 5-ht2c antagonistic properties which may be why it lacks prominant sexual side effects.
Its really a strange bag of nails.Linkadge
