Mood Improvement
Serotonin is synthesized and
stored in synaptic vesicles
at the nerve terminal
Nortriptyline inhibits the
serotonin reuptake
transporter, thereby
increasing synaptic
serotonin
Serotonin activates 5HT2A
and 5HT2C receptors, which
are responsible for mood
improvements
Norepinephrine is
synthesized and stored in
synaptic vesicles at the
nerve terminal
Nortriptyline inhibits the
norepinephrine reuptake
transporter, thereby
increasing synaptic
norepinephrine levels
Mood Improvement
Norepinephrine activates
post synaptic adrenergic
receptors which are
responsible for mood
improvements
