Ok, well I thought this topic might be interesting as its never been discussed before.
Anyway, what I am trying to find out here, and hopefully here from some people that have pretty advanced knowledge in pharmacology, are the different mechanisms of action of different benzodiazepines. Yes, I know every benzo acts on GABA receptors, but I want to know more specifically which GABA receptors each one targets, or some benzo's that target a different GABA receptor more, and if any benzo's have any action on dopamine or serotonin as well.
Mainly interested right now in Alprazolam, Lorazepam, Clonazepam, Flunitrazepam, Diazepam, and Triazolam. If anyone could maybe post a description on the mechanisms of action of each of these and specifically which GABA receptors these target, that would be very interesting. I know that Lorazepam seems to target more GABA receptors than Diazepam does. I'd also like to know which ones.
Thanks to anyone that could contribute to this.
