Describe the triplastic effect of SSRI when used to treat anxiety. Beside to describe the
receptor systems involved, and how they are related to anxiety in a general sense to
provide context for your answer. - Answer✔✔-SSRI's increase the amount of synaptic
5-HT available for binding on the the 5HT-1a receptors by blocking reuptake. Initially
this causes more anxiety as the SSRI acts on the 5HT receptors. These presynaptic
receptors form an inhibitory feedback loop. In the presence of increased 5HT, there is a
decrease in the firing rate of these serotanergic neurons. These cells ultimately correct
themselves tho, to eventually maintain their baseline firing rate. They achieve this by
eliminating the amount of receptors on the presynaptic cell. These then return to
baseline firing in conjunction with the increased amount of 5HT at the synapses and the
post-synaptic cells are now able to receive appropriate firing and 5HT, therefore
reducing overall anxiety. This nuerocellular process explains the delayed initial efficacy
of SSRI treatment of anxiety.
