After being given differing answers to whether Mirtazapine is an SSRI I decided to look it up. Instead of inhibiting seratonin reuptake it antagonizes receptors. What I'm trying to figure out is what the difference is. From the relatively few hours of reading I did it may mean that SSRIs try to strengthen seratonin by keeping it around longer before absorption whilst antagonists try to make sure that the seratonin is going to the right place by blocking alternate receptors? maybe?

Exactly 2 weeks ago I smoked weed, I got really high and I started panicking. My heart was raising and I couldn't breath. After that I just kept feeling uncomfortable chest pains. They eventually went away but now I feel weird. As if in we tipsy or I was in a dream. Yesterday I went to wal mart and everything seemed weird and I started to panic inside a little. I've been reading online that it could be anxiety but I am not sure.I just want to feel normal again. I have no smoke ever since.

I had horrible experience with my tonsillectomy operation, bleeding, blood transfusion, weight loss. After everything I am terrified of the things that remind me of what happened. I get chest pain when alone, I feel sad, I feel scared going out with friends thinking it can happen again.

I was having an argument with my father, after which I felt numbness in my hands and feet and intestine. After a minute I felt the numbness in the whole body.

Please tell me if propranolol is a good thing for curing my illness as i am in a field where public presentations are a part of my job. Please tell me what to do and if propranolol is good for it or some other medication???
