Serotonergic

Serotonergic or serotoninergic means "working on the neurotransmitter serotonin". A synapse is serotonergic if it uses serotonin as its neurotransmitter. A serotonergic neuron produces serotonin. A substance is serotonergic if it produces its effects via interactions with the serotonin system.

A serotonergic, or serotonergic agent, is any chemical which functions to enhance the effects mediated by serotonin in the body. Some different types of serotonergics drugs include the following:
